Hi All
Several weeks ago, I bought a Bluetooth Receiver+DAC,
the xDuoo XQ-50 Pro.
xDuoo XQ-50 Pro - xDuoo official store
It uses a CSR8675 chip for Bluetooth 5.0,
an ES9018K2M DAC chip,
and a JRC 5532DD Op-Amp.
It supports LDAC.
As can be seen in the internals picture, the Op-Amp is socketed:
So my question:
I am curious to try other Op-Amps, to see how the sound will change.
Can you recommend other op-amps to try listening to?
And do you have a trustable source for buying them from, rather than eBay/Ali?
Thank you
