So what technically makes that happen?
Harmonic distortion and compression is caused by non-linearity, insufficient feedback, and/or insufficient headroom. Uneven frequency response is usually a conscious design choice, and usually implemented using capacitors.

Those Burson's must have horrible specs 🙂
The NC400's have no sound signature of their own. They sound exactly like the source, only amplified. The LM4562's maybe slightly warmer. But definitely some coloration. It's been a while now since I've heard the stock buffer stage.
With the input buffer modded with the Burson discrete opamp, sound was definitely warmer and nicer. Much better than the LM4562 IMO.
Whats actually involved in modding the input buffer and which Burson should be used

Remove the S08 LM4562 chip and replace with S08 to DIP8 adapter.
If you don't have a hot air rework station, take it to someone who does.

Presumably the new buffer fits to that but which buffer

I'm talking about the Hypex buffer Boggit and Acoustic imagery uses.
I am getting confused, what do you fit instead of the removed LM4562 .I'm talking about the Hypex buffer Boggit and Acoustic imagery uses.
I assume the LM4562 is the buffer used by Boggit and AI

The Burson discrete opamp. I thought that's what this conversation was about.

Ok so you remove the LM4562, solder fit the DIP8 and then fit the Burson to the DIP8. Is that soldered in or a push fit.
Is that it, nothing else to do.
Which model Burson should be fitted I looked at their site and they had several models.

No you need to solder on a S08 to dip 8 adapter, then plug it into the adapter.
You can use any one you want. As long as it's a dual.

Which adapter has the warmest sound? 🙂
Hi Bavmike
Is the OpAmp definitely a dual? Odd I would have thought it would be single due to the mono board!?
Thanks

Which adapter has the warmest sound? 🙂
The one with the longest leads, as it picks up the most beautiful distortions 🙂

Interesting you say that because I did investigate DIP-8 Adapters and avoided the tin versions, went for copper-Berylium versions
Don't know about the sound but I went for the least compromised option 🙂

That sounds right... 🙂

Yes it uses duals. The LM4562 is a dual.

I was going to add "because everything matters, right?" 🙂

Have you analyzed the circuit (or seen the circuit diagram)? What is the reason for using a dual amp?
