Yes, the Walnut "V2S" is the next version, and I suspect it has a different SoC due to new features not supported on the original SoC mentioned on the previous page of this thread. However, this may have different SQ, for better or for worse...

Any experience with AUDIO JADE seller? http://stores.ebay.com/Audio-Jade-Electronic-Components/_i.html?_nkw=OP-amp&_arm=1&_armi=Value+Sort&_armm=351&_ruu=http://stores.ebay.com/Audio-Jade-Electronic-Components/Value-Sort-/_i.html?_nkw=OP-amp&_arr=1&_fsub=2211486015&_sid=87132485&_sid=87132485&_rdc=1
I have a Zishan Z1 on order, am curious to know if their version of opamp is better than stock. Apologies if this has been gone over. Am waiting patiently for the thread searching to be fixed.
I can tell you that they send what they are selling in a relatively short time. I've ordered three things from them ( a couple of opamps and some dip sockets). I haven't been able to test them yet, since I also ordered a Z1 but haven't received it yet.

Went back and skimmed through earlier posts in this thread, looking for "sound quality" comparisons of the various opamps and capacitors that people have tried. Seems like there'd be a post or two about a component swap, and then multiple pages of discussions about other things.
.
Do you know if there's any sort of list, table, or spreadsheet - which shows the various parts that people have swapped into a Walnut v2, and the changes in sound quality that resulted?

Am I the only one who is getting error when trying to reply to someone on mobile version?

Nope.
When I'm accessing Head-Fi via the Chrome browser on my Nexus 5 phone or Nexus 7 tablet, reading the Forums is easier with the mobile version, but I have to switch to the desktop version in order to reply. Same goes with trying to upload images.

The "2x - DIP-8 dual opamp, made from 2x AD825AR V3 mono opamps" and "3x - DIP-8 PHILIPS NE5532N (Vintage) dual opamp" that I ordered, were purchased from Audio Jade. They should be here in a few weeks, and I'll let you know how they sound.
