That's REALLY a stretch. If a SOIC to DIP adapter can make your opamp oscillate (which it actually could with some very extreme opamps), your board has to be SO well laid out and you must have SUCH great power supply bypassing that and you shouldn't be swapping them anyway.
As for signal loss in traces, you should be MUCH more worried about board layout and about a million other things before you even bother looking at how much signal you will lose in 2mm of opamp adapter traces.
It really sounds like you should reconsider your priorities, single-minded obsessiveness, although common in audio, is not a good thing.

I believe someone knowledgeable in this thread said that they could easily make op-amps oscillate, where some much more pricey adapters would not. I don't think there is much to be expected from a $2 adapter...but well, maybe someday I'll be blown away by some chips on these adapters the same way the LT1364 does it to me atm both the LT techsupport and Andrea advised it to me, and I can hear why...it really scales well, the more amazing the recordings the more natural they sound |
