Hmmm. So did they look like mine?
Maybe your schematic is optimized for FET OpAmps. I don't have it. How did the 5532 sounded like?

5532 sounded not so harsh in the top, but still a bit wooly. Think maybe the lm is wired differently inside. But i cant be sure.
Ill post a photo if the lm's and let u see them, see if they look the same.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Not so easy, had to take the photo through the mag lamp... Lol
Camera on the iPhone isn't very good at macro shots
Or look the same anyway.
Night and day difference. The lm's are tiring to listen to.
Very strange.

Yep, Mouser is a recognized distribuitor.
Well... then you are out of luck. Maybe OPA2134 is the best you can have on your DAC.
I personally like the top end to be crystal and very detailed. Maybe you call that "harsh".
Maybe you need to give your brain some time to adjust (some say "let them burn in").
If you are happy, that is all good. OPA2134 are definitelly not bad OpAmps.

I must admit, thats not really a bad thing that I'm limited to the opa2134's, sounds pretty darn good as is just now. 🙂
Im now wondering how it would sound with 3 tortoidals instead of the cheapo nasty ones that are in it.
Think that would be my next best option if i decide to take
It further.
Ive got a funny feeling that you are correct, maybe the dacmagic1 just doesnt like those opamps. Wonder if another opa version would sound better.

Bloody maplin, I need to go to 2 stores to buy 4 ceramic caps. They only keep 2 in stock at each store.
As i say, maplins is no longer an electronics store. It should rebrand as toys r us.
Surely they don't take up that much space?
USELESS!
Craplin! My local shop normally has one or three of stuff I want WTF use is that!

Lol, yip craplin they are
Went to RS for the first time yesterday
They don't charge you 3.99 for a crummy catalogue, give you 4 for free! And they have everything in stock.
But they are few and far between in Scotland.
