The Opamp thread

Mar 18, 2018 at 5:39 PM Post #5,836 of 7,464
I was thinking of upgrading my stx 2, with the bursen v6 op amp. Anyone looking to sell theirs? Or anyone have any other recommendations. I like all sorts of music, but really liking aphex twin at the minute, so something suited to EDM would be cool. But also can’t stop listening to DSOTM !

There's an STX already upgrade on this forum upgraded with V5 SS (can't tell where, please dive deep into the search), there's also a review with SS V6 few pages back. I'm sure you can do it with ease, but you might want to measure twice the space left for the opamps to get installed.

''Well, some might say it's a downgrade...and if you look at their datasheets then LME49710 could be a better option.
What's your device, please?''

I want to hear the differences, if i can. Just for fun.

Dac100 with AK4497 from China. ( the version with two power trafo)

Maybe a dumb question. Is it possible to put the NE5534 in the place of the lme49710?

The stock opa is the lme49710.

The way around is possible, i read everywhere.

Like earlier said. Just for fun , i want to know if i can hear better or worse audio.

It's a downgrade

Try AD797 or OPA189.

Members here have reported good things about OPA189

Some say the distortion from the ne5534 sounds nice. Ive read so many opinions on the net. :)
I have them around. So that is why i ask if i can put them in that circuit? I want to know if i can hear the downgrade. If i cant hear the downgrade, why bother with other opamps.

(opa1611 is on the way)

AD797 sometimes needs a bypass , ive read? opa189 is on the list.
What about opa827, is that even possible because it is jfet?

I know what you're saying...also, most of the recording studio gears are using NE5532 or NE5534, so "live studio sound" is already recorded and post-processed by using the NE opamps. :)

However, is it this DAC: http://www.ebuy7.com/item/efdfefdjadia? I only see SO8/SOIC LT opamps. Perhaps some close-up pics might help.
