Slewmaster - CFA vs. VFA "Rumble"

Just being sarcastic.
= I know, you are a cool dude, as long as we are having fun with it.
Some here, not this thread, DIY itself, have there heads up there a$$es too much for my liking!!
But they are not "audiophile" approved.
okay, so are you an audiophile? I'd never admit that I am one 🙂 I'd sooner admit that I am a stoner that that 🙂
Luck I am a scrooge or lets say thrifty/meager, tight a$$ is too much in bad taste.

Dexa ,Burson .... Oh , boy (where do I start) ~ 🙄

Dexa - NewClassD Discrete OPAMPs

At least they are going smd. Module looks like BCxxx SMD in a symmetrical
array. HAH ! they show the ne5534 as the "villain" to replace right under
the overpriced modules. 🙄
Edit - Yes ! A "spooky" IC replacement.
Burson - DIYA advertiser , can't say much besides that I see the 2 CCS's.
It's a blameless , like a ne5534/TL072 - LTP VFA.
And it is "lavish" .... what ? Sounds (lavishly) "fluffy" to me.

They show pictures of how to replace the far superior OPAxxxx op-amp
in your CD player with the "lavish" modules. 😎
I should design some to make $$$. What an idea !!

Edit -
Op-amp Issues - according to Burson ...

Not designed with a focus on sound
Highly inconsistent in quality
Poorly construced and degrade the signal on all levels
Suffer significantly from EMI

-exactly what the larger size of the module would create (increase).
-IC junctions and matching would be more uniform than discretes could ever be.
