I have conclude that LTC6241 had the most detail of the three, it had better detail mids and highs compare to AD8656 and LT1364. I guess thats why iBasso is using them in their D1 now. I like AD8656 second then Lt1364 third. The difference between AD8656 and LT1364 is very small. BTW i'm using OPA627BP in L/R and AD8397 in buffer. |
