The Aune X1s dac uses 2 NE5532 for I/V converter and 1 NE5532 for LPF/buffer and I want to change the NE5532s to newer and better opamps.
2 things I have noted from looking at the circuit board so far:
1. The power supply coupling is close to the opamp but not the best practice. The 2 coupling caps are located near pin 8, so the negative supply pin with not get the best coupling. (Please refer to the image i found on the internet below).
2. There is no ground plane or any traces on the bottom layer below the opamp.
I'm thinking of LME4562 and OPA1612 which are unity gain stable, not to high band width, decent slew rate (>20V/uS).
I have 3 questions/topics to discuss as follows:
1. Will OPA1612 or LM4562 be a big improvement or the NE5532 is good enough?
2. Will the OPA1612 or LM4652 be stable in this circuit?
3. Is there any better opamp that suits this circuit. I'm also thinking of something fast like LT1469 or LT1358.
Thank you!
