What about ceramic ? (cerdip)
Don´t worry too much about which suffix might sound better because 99,99% very soon there won`t be I/V stages anymore

Dear Elso Kwak,
\
sorry for my mistake. I hadn't any experience use opa627 before so I didn't know the betal can steel had 'BM' version.
Tomorrow morning I will make a long distance call to my friend in taiwan about 'BM' version. If he had stock, I will call him post to me with the 20 pcs CS8412 to me.
Hope I can get them.
But actually my friend told me that metal can version nowadays will not easy to collect!!!
How about the performance between plastic DIL B-grade compare with metal can AM version.
OPA 627 metal can version is not cheap. If the performance is very close.I will not order from Taiwan, My kit only follow with AN or BN DIP only.
Cost too much money will not suitable & good news to diyers.
thx
thomas

dear Elso Kwak,
unfortunately my friend hadn't metal can 'BM' on hand, but he promised me that will try his best search in the market. He will inform me the stock & price to me first before he order.
Pls see the another stock of CS8412 today EMS to me from Taiwan. I prepare use into my kit for diyers themselves choose CS8412 or CS8414 be the twin 1541a digital receiver.
thx

Interestingly, the datasheet of the THS4631 goes into long descriptions of how good this chip is as transimpedance amplifier.
Here are the usual specs :
High Bandwidth:
– 325 MHz in Unity Gain operation
– 210 MHz Gain Bandwidth Product
High Slew Rate:
– 900 V/µs (G = 2)
– 1000 V/µs (G = 5)
Low Distortion of –76 dB, SFDR at 5 MHz
Maximum Input Bias Current: 100 pA
Input Voltage Noise: 7 nV/ÖHz
Maximum Input Offset Voltage: 500 µV at 25°C
Low Offset Drift: 2.5 µV/°C
Input Impedance: 10e9 || 3.9 pF
Wide Supply Range: ± 5 V to ± 15 V
High Output Current: 95 mA

The real information was in the articles by Barrie Gilbert that is referenced at the bottom of Jung's article, but these have unfortunately been deleted.

Help!
I'd like to improve my I/V OPA in my SONY CDP-X303ES.
Original OPA is Mitsubishi 5238, this is an dual OPA per channel.
Anyone knows it?
THX!!!
Try two OPA627 on a converter board.

Which picture do you refer to Troels???😕
Nothing wrong with it IMO!tbla said:
well i have not spend much time lately at this forum, and i've been getting used to my krell kps20i.....
btw i ended up with opa627 too for I/V....🙂
they are still alive with 18,4V and i also use them for offset servoes too - also 18,4V.....both in my cdplayer and krell preamp krc hr.

You did well.😉

That's very good too.
It's what I'm using with my AD1862 dac.
