Hi.
I recently got into this modding stuff and replaced the NE5532P with LM4562NA in my CA 640C V2. The LM4562NA are fantasticly detailed and the dynamics are awsome, also the bass is more articulate. However there are some negatives also: The treble seems a bit hard and shut in, bass level is a bit low and the overall smoothness isnt as I'd like it to be. There may be other issues with the player which the LM4562NA have brought out.
Im really looking for a nice smooth sound with good detail, dynamics. Something natural. Before doing any further mods I'd like to try some different opamps but Im not sure what to try. There have been lots of different suggestions on the 'CA 640C V2' thread and another on 'DIYaudio'. Thing is im not sure what to try.
Can anyone advise which opamp wil give the sound Im looking for? Are there any reviews/write-ups anyone knows of, on how different opamps sound?
The CA has 6 opamps, therey perform some kind of filtering network after the DAC's and the last 2 are the for the output. I changed all 6 to LM4562NA so maybe I can mix and match some warmer sounding opamps with the LM4562NA?
Thanks in advance.
