Thanx for the links, they mostly compare 3886 with 3875 while I'm looking for a 3875 and 76 comparison.

From reading that link I think the problem is this, they all sound pretty much the same, however, the 3886 has more power, but to get to it a bit more knowledge, time and effort is needed to get the layout right, so more people are happy with the 3875.

There won't be any sound difference. The die are almost identical.
