The charging current quality does not need to be too good, the amount of current is important. It is recommended to use a more efficient switching power supply. Generally, the linear power supply current will be smaller and consume a lot of power.
You may have missed the point... @Miklau is not using the Salas 1.3 UtraBiB power supply for CHARGING i.e. supplying DC voltage to a battery or accumulator.
@sq225917, looks very nice, but a bit risky. Be careful!
Ian's adapter for the OPA1622 handles this and turns it into an 8-pin equivalent.
I've tried both the Sparkos and LKS discrete opamps in the I/V positions (U1 & U2) with very good results. I am leaning more towards the Sparkos, but don't have suffiicent time on both for anything final.
I've seen some good reports on the Burson too. Opamp choice will largely be a personal preference choice.
In my testing I am running the setup into a balanced-input attenuator and amplifier. So I don't have U3 populated with anything at this time.

"Sound quality can be improved right away by replacing the pre-installed op amplifiers with higher grade ones. OPA1622 would be recommended for U3. ..."
<SNIP>
but the OPA1622 seems to have only a 10 pins layout

So, in which way I can substitute the original NJM2114D with this OPA1622?
Does it exist a different version of OPA1622 with only 8 PIN layout ?

Another question: did u tested also other OpAmp ? Eg. The DualAmp BursonAudio V6 Classic seems to be compatible. Did u test it or do you know it ?

The adapter for 1622 has to be soldered ? Is it difficult?
The U3 is used for un-balanced output?
This means that the U1 e U2 are used only for balanced and so in case I want to use only un-balanced I may let them empty (so do the opposite you are doing) ?

@paoloilpizzo,
I haven't soldered an OPA1622 to one of Ian's adapters yet, but it IS an advanced SMD soldering job that requires an SMD rework station at least or a proper SMD soldering oven.
OPA1612s & most other recent equivalent opamps also require soldering onto appropriate adapters and are still challenging SMD soldering jobs, but they CAN be done with a very fine-tip soldering iron by hand.
Also, U1 & U2 are required for both balanced & single-ended use. Only U3 is optional and then only for single-ended use.

Hello, I bought them here they make a good impression!

I found also this
OPA1622 Dual OPA DIP8 (Unit) - Audiophonics
could be an opportunity
From the manualGuys, I have a laptop smps putting out 19.4v off load. Alright to use with the lifepo board?
J6: DC power input connector alternative to J5
A 12V to 19V DC power supply with rated current higher than 3.5A can also be connected to this 2-pin 5.0mm terminal
to operate. It’s internally connected to J5.
So seems to be just a bit over the limit. Imho could be used by I let the last sentence to Ian.
Fifopi is available in my “local” store!

Great! I was waiting long time for such board. I was even willing to delay the shipping of my boards for this as , at the moment I'm more intrested in a digital transport project for my external dac. Great to see it ready.
Have a well deserved nice vacation Ian!
