I tried lt1364 too and noticed that Linears have their own signature. It was different. Like technical, somehow colored. I guess they are better for high impedance headphones. LT1364 had very low dc offset btw.
I am very fond to Analog's op amps. I am now listening directly to AD8620 and it really shines, even to 32 ohm phones. Little distortion at high volumes but it is very soft rounded distortion that actually causes less listening fatigue than very low distortion!
I cannot listen National op amps. Burr Browns are ok, but too messy bass. Texas are too metallic.

Some people are drawn to the "colored" type of opamps as it hide certain aspects of their gear, either source or cans. To each their own I guess. |
