According to TI, the OPA627 is good for :
# PRECISION INSTRUMENTATION
# FAST DATA ACQUISITION
# DAC OUTPUT AMPLIFIER
# OPTOELECTRONICS
# SONAR, ULTRASOUND
# HIGH-IMPEDANCE SENSOR AMPS
# HIGH-PERFORMANCE AUDIO CIRCUITRY
# ACTIVE FILTERS
And IME the OPA627 sounds nothing like thin, quite the contrary. Unless you don't operate properly : it needs highish voltage rails (certainly higher than +/-10VDC) and a current buffer (don't drive headphones directly). ClassA bias helps a bit.
