new to op amps, if my portable amp has a section for a dual opamp and a section for 2 single op amps, can i mix them? meaning 1x dual and 2x single?
If you mean that it takes 3 opamps in total, then you probably want to keep the 2 singles equal to each othernew to op amps, if my portable amp has a section for a dual opamp and a section for 2 single op amps, can i mix them? meaning 1x dual and 2x single?
yeah, 1 dual and 2 singles, read the manual and the amp maker advised not to combine, so i guess i'm going for either 2 singles or 1 dual is there any consensus op amp models that are known for being better than others? sorry for the amateur talk, but i'm super new to this, my amp opamp section can accept 8 pins (4 on both sides) and does not have much room for a tall op amp (apparently those exist!), for example something like this:If you mean that it takes 3 opamps in total, then you probably want to keep the 2 singles equal to each other
and the dual you can be something different from the singles.
I would start by posting what opamps are installed originally. That might help direct which way to go. And search, if you haven't already, for those opamps to see comparisons people posted. Will give you some ideas.

it uses MUSES01 op amp, i'll be honest the amp actually gives really, REALLY good results, just wondering if i could take it even higher i've heard good things about the burson v5idI would start by posting what opamps are installed originally.

I dont have experience with the muse but have seen online that they are pretty good. If you have the money to buy the burson v5i dual and see if you like the change. Remember its not just the opamp, but how does it match with the rest of the amp and the headphones you're using.it uses MUSES01 op amp, i'll be honest the amp actually gives really, REALLY good results, just wondering if i could take it even higher i've heard good things about the burson v5id

Good luck
yes, a portable hat amp add-onBy portable amp you mean headphone amp?
Class A is an amplifier topology, so there's no such thing as a "class A device," rather it's whether the device is operating in Class A mode.question, what op amp has the biggest soundstage?
and wondering, are class A op amps good?

I think this is what you meant, and my opinion is yes, the couple of examples I've heard with opamps in Class A amps are superb.
Tho, I still prefer opamps for voltage gain purposes as opposed to using them as an output stage coupled to transducers.
Soon we will see more Class D Hi-End solutions than ever before.question, what op amp has the biggest soundstage?
