hmmm... i just reseated the chip again and seem to getting 'full' volume.... perhaps a bad connection....

Thanks!

Yeah, I guessed it was a little different but there is some positive stuff on other forums. This is what I have ordered...

Nice, could you please indicate the source? eBay perhaps, right?

BTW, from the datasheet I can only see tests/graphs when +/-5V PSU is used, so output voltage is quite low. I was wondering if you could please use this op-amp as output buffer to drive directly the headphones but powere through a PSU of at least +/-12V, if possible. Perhaps into an Objective2 if you have one laying around?

Thank you!

i have a similar one with additional caps.. installed as lpf on my zishan dsd player but didn't find enough time for critical listening..

Hi all

Hi All

I seem to have a problem. I ordered an opa1692idgkt from Digikey with what I thought was the matching adapter. I thought the opa1692 was a vssop8 but it doesn't fit on the adapter (which is labeled as a vssop8 to dip8 adapter). Is there something else I should be looking at in the ID to match these up?

And... Could anyone tell me which board I need?

Thanks so much!

Looks like VSSOP 0.5mm and I believe the opamp is VSSOP 0.65mm just to be confusing.

I just use the cheapy SOIC/SSOP (dual sided) to DIP8 adaptors you can find on ebay and Amazon, etc. the ones I've got so far have been the right size.

my opa1692 and opa2209 on lbb4.

Thanks for your suggestions and sharing your most recent experiences.

I noticed that these ic chips are tiny. My understanding is that I would have to solder them onto some kind adapter so they would work in a dip 8 package?

Also, when ordering, how would I tell which one to order of a particular model. There are a combination of letters following the chip model (e.g. OPA1692AID vs OPA1692AIDR)...more specifically for the Zishan Z2, which I believe is a dual version dip8 configuration...

Also, the nice surprise with these suggestions is that I just put 3 opamps into my Mouser cart and with shipping it was under $30! Much more doable compared to the Burson and Muse options, and I can experiment...

Again much appreciated to ask the responses!

Do you have the links for those opamps? I will buy them too. Burson is too expensive ($70) for me.

you need a 0.65mm spacing on the adapter.. not 0.5mm... I learned the hard way... still waiting...

I'm not sure what you mean about the 0.65 mm spacing. I'm just a newb trying to order it for a Z1.

I don't want to solder anything. I have these adapters: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10P...s-Adaptor-Solder-Type-Socket/32651679826.html

Will they work?

Those will only work with dip8 configured opamps. Not necessary as the Z1 already has a socket. The opa1692 is a completely different size and footprint. I'm just a newb at this as well... So if I'm wrong someone else please chime in...

Does anyone know what the "SQ" suffix is about on Analogue Devices?

I was searching for the TO99 version of AD712 and Farnell have this SQ version on their site for circa £33 + VAT. I don't know anything about the SQ but assume it means something like 'Superior Quality'?? Anyone have experience or knowledge of this? I love the 712 but not for that sort of cash unless there is a reason... There are several other AD chips with this suffix on Farnell. Colour me curious...

Do you know what to look for to make sure the opamps are DIP8 when they don't look it? (no long legs) I accidentally bought some SOP-8 opamps am wondering if those would work in the right adapter. It looks like we are both new around here.

 

[toear]

I just look for some kind of description that says they are dip 8 or on dip8 adapters . That and I looked at a lot of op amps. You can usually tell if it's in dip 8 configuration. Sorry to be not more helpful...
