Hello everyone. I am planning to sell my unit (including two sets of extra opamps - muses02 and AD708SQ). The unit was purchased in April 2022, and it is in perfect condition. Selling it as I do not need a transportable amp and recently added a dedicated headphone amplifier to my Naim superuniti2. If anyone is interested, please let me know. I am based in the UK.

I really don't mean to dig up an old thread, but I just purchased an XD-05 and it came with Burson v5i and also Sparkos SS3601s.

I've seen from a few users that they've installed the sparkos op-amps, but I'm trying to see how exactly where they placed and we're extension stand-offs were used or was it a Socket extension.

Any information would be helpful.

Ultimately I'm trying to see if the sparkos can really open this up compared to the v5i or if I should just stick with the G5.

I did some tests but only with extensions,

these are hdam single l opamps, but similarly i use sparkos without splitters

For everyone else, I posted how i did this for the ss3602's in the XD05 Pro thread : https://www.head-fi.org/threads/xduoo-xd05pro.964620/page-5#post-17363837

Yeah I just saw your post, I know you mentioned that you trimmed The op amp leads, what exactly did you mean by this?

I have a pair of ss3601, but seeing that you were able to accomplish it with the 3602 I'm more inclined to try.

These little through-hole leads can stick out far enough to hit the case, so i trimmed them down a little, may not be needed if you can close the case with the make-shift shielding in place.

I really don't know how you got that in lol. Even my 3601 doesn't fit between the capacitors on the right op-amp, I'll have to stalk the classifieds to see If somebody might have a set like you that's already modified.

Yeah the capacitors are in the way, so i moved them a little with my thumbs, they had just enough play to flex and bend away to make the ss3602s fit. Also cut the socket on the left in half to shift it over, otherwise they don't fit, but where there's a will ...
