i think i saw this somewhere a while ago. but if anyone can confirm. Does STX/ST have a lower SNR at 192khz than 96khz?

That is true of pretty much all DAC's currently available. It is not really major issue though as it is almost always within 1-2db of the best measuring 48KHz sample rate specs. A look at the specs of the DAC chips themselves will tell you that this is the case
Ok I found frugalphile! Is this what I need? http://www.ebay.com/itm/DUAL-SOIC-LME49990-DIP8-ADAPTER-/190762476231?pt=US_Amplifier_Parts_Components&hash=item2c6a5462c7
Do I need 3, or 5 of these? I still want to try the THS4032 and compare if you have a link to those soldered. I am using the RCA outs, and not using headphones yet but plan to. I have Sennheiser RS 170 Wireless and am considering 650's.
Probably not, you may aswell buy the Muses out of your own - works out the same.
mmmm I actually can't help there.... I was busy testing buffers before my pc got taken out by lightening......
the AD797BR should work well - IF it doesn't oscillate, some members have got it to oscilate, and some have got it stable, I think the other opamps make a big difference, I think mine were oscillating in the I/V section.
One thing is for sure - 3 THS4032 is just a bit too smooth.
That's the one I use, but I only have it in the buffer position, it works just fine and I still thinks it has enhanced the sound. In the other two postions, the I/V-positions, I have two LM4562NA/NOPB instead of the original JRC2114DD and as I said - everything works fine together.
I think the sound is awesome and I really feel like listening through large parts of my collection again. Very complex music with lots of overlays is what has had the largest benefit - "HiFi-demo" music already sounded good as it was; the resolution of detail is amazing while not being harsh, it's not a "dark" sound though so those who prefer that may beware. While not a dark sound signature, the bass is really deep and powerful
You would need one, as me, or a maximum of three to fill all positions. There are only three sockets on the card so you can't use more.
I only use the RCA:s too.
Ok I ordered 3 LME49990's last night...I hope that's going to work because I didn't see your post that you only use 1. Should this be ok for all 3? Wir3d said "3 THS4032 is to smooth" so I'm confused what to do. Thank you for the reply!

I only replaced the two opamps...however... I only use the headphones, not line out.
