Aiyima A80: DAC(ESS9038Q2M) + Amplifier(TPA3255 PFFB) - User Impressions | Owner's Thread

Fake news. The soundstage literally changes. I know what I have heard back to back, I don't care what measurements show. That linked test was done with one particular product that compared 2 OpAmps, I have no idea how good that Douk is but have the Sparkos and NE5532 and OPA828/627 on the A80 - It's very obvious there is a difference on the A80 which seems to make good use of the OpAmps with loads of power on tap,. The 828 is too narrow in soundstage making music sound too central and annoying, the 627 solves that and the SS3602 goes one step beyond the 627.

Really ? You are a victim of confirmation bias, which leads to cognitive dissonance. Science before impressions for me....
