I have an M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 PCI sound card somewhere. The circuit board has an 8-pin socket with a replaceable op-amp. Why does a stereo sound card have only a single operational amplifier? This sound card already sounds very nice, but what kind of op-amp would I replace it with if I wanted to upgrade it?
thats nice and rare. Some modern dac have also this feature to please audiophiles.
It seems to be an dualopamp.
look up your opamp and if you are not happy with it you could replace it with a burr brown opa from texas instruments. I dont have your specific opamp so I cant give a specific recommendation but those audio opamps from burrbrown are fine.
