Onkyo tx-ds 676 upgrade

ratu · 14th January 2004, 10:13 AM

Hi
I´m triying to update my onkyo 676, changing the opams, it uses the NJM 4565(14 ICs!! dual opam from NJR) and 15534(3 ICs connecteds after the 5.1 DACs).

For the NJM i think that it would be better to change by the OPA 2134, that it semms better and cheap comparing to an others Opams. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?

For the 15532 i read in www that it seems to be the 5532 and i´m not shure what to do, because this forum likes it. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?

I have connected the onkyo to a McIntosh MC 2505 for the mains channels, so the supply upgrade is not very important.

Tanx

Ratu, unless you have an emotional attachment to your Onkyo

I would think it is a lot easier (and more practical) to convert it to use just two LM3875's!

Just a thought!

You dont understand me, I use the Onkyo for the 5.1 Decoder and mainly as a pre amplifier, for the power i have the McIntosh

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood what the Onkyo was.

Well, as ever with a request for 'which is best replacement part', you will get people's opinions.

There is another thread here about replacing the opamp on preamps and you will find all the 'usual suspects' there!

Thanks

On the forum people talks about opa627, 845,8610, but i've 14 ICs!(14 X 10..20$= too much money) thats why i want to know the forum opinion.

Yours..

That's a good one.

I don't like it.

Just to be sure, measure between pins 4 and 8.
If you have around 30 volts there, it's a double op-amp, and you can use the OPA2134 here too.
If that voltage is between pins 4 and 7, it's a single (I don't think so) and you can use the OPA627

.
If you want cheap, OPA134 or OPA604.
