I recall that being a big thing 6 or 7 years ago when that Burson amp was popular...for about 5 minutes.
Anyone experience any Op amp rolling?
More and more devices (DAC's /Amps) are being offered the ability to change out different Op amps. Easy as changing a tube. Op amp can alter the sounds noticeably.
In an effort to keep the cost of an item lower the manufacturer frequently uses very inexpensive IC op amp chips. Many less than a dollar. It would seem a good upgrade could be had using a more expensive discreet op amp running in class 'A'.
Anyone have any experience with the newest Burson V7 Vivid or the Sparkos ss2590 pro? Both units run in class 'A' mode. Two top tier units, both run over $80 and I find the improvement in sound remarkable and greatly improved and well worth the $ spent.
