This guy, wait 'til you hear 4627-1, then you'll eat your words, lol.
Head-Direct told me Minibox-E+ is 7.4v
49710HA will not fit with TO-99 adapters, the leads have to be bent and trimmed little by little very carefully.
Other Minibox-E+ users found OPA627 to sound no better than AD8610 in this little amp. 8610 gives the best battery life, but certainly not the best sound.
I also did not imply 744 being ultra-detailed. LT1028 is noticeably more detailed than the plastic dip J version but in my Compass DAC only. Minibox-E+ is just not suited for 1028 and 797.
I know this for a fact: the ADA4627-1 can't but have a similar tonality to the OPA627, and I never found the OPA627 enjoyable (musical) enough.
Yep, the LT1028ACN8 is crystal clear yet remains fluid and musical. I think the OPA1611 is just a bit better (rounder & more luminous mids).
P.S. The TL051 are simply magical & heavenly sounding in my CMOY (just been listening to Tom Waits, "Bawlers", 2nd disc of the 3 CD set "Orphans"). I never thought my CMOY could sound this good.
