[sakis]

going from 4560 to 5532 will it work better ???

in a cd player i tryied ther was marginal improvement

any sugestion between the two ???

The 4560 is a newer low cost chip I think. What difference did you find ?
I find the 5532 works very well in some designs.
I think it finally really depends on which sound " you" prefer. The 4580 is used in many ~$150/- add on high quality sound cards. The 4560 came before that. 5532's are still used by many people.

The 5532 can run at a higher supply voltage , has higher slew rate and has slightly lower noise than the 4560. I don't know the distortion spectrum of the 4560 but the 5532 seems to compare very favourably with many modern chips like the OPA2134 etc.

5532 sounds "better", but do not expect any miracles.

that was my impression too but i wanted to verify with others also thanks PMA

changed them in aCD player it sounded quiet a lot better

changed in volume control of a hafler 945 tuner preamplifier and the bennefit was very low .....

a terrible device this hafler PREAMP ..... very noisy ancient input selectors a hell of a crosstalk between inputs ....i was actually amazed was expecting more from it

thanks

fit a discrete opamp or buffer if there is 0gain.
