It isn't. As pointed out further up this thread (or in another - I can't remember) it is only conducing for a few milleseconds while the capacitors charge up. After that a relay closes, and all the current goes through the relay.
It's a shame you don't understand how to interpret them then.
Why not? Because it won't work properly with at least 2 varieties of balanced output, and probably has a 'Pin 1 Problem.'
Refer to recent discussion about a similar problem with the Topping B100 - although it's mixed up with power output. The Schiit Vidar 2 has the same problem, but at least mentions it in their FAQ. The likely 'Pin 1 Problem' comes from failing to follow AES48.
Run-in for amps is a myth. They work or they don't. Plug in, turn on, and enjoy!
Thanks for the reply. The 5532 is a 45 year old design, no doubt TI has upgraded it for modern processes but initial specs remain. I was hoping for proven modern value IC suggestions?
I'll let others chime in here - you're going to get a full range of opinions on it. The question is whether one can truly hear a difference.
I spent a long time running in my V3 stereo, marvelling at the improvements, but when I bought a second, brand new V3, I couldn’t tell them apart. Funny the way perception works.

I hoping for expert CONCENSUS for the V3 5532s?Oh my goodness. If you do a web search you will find literally hundreds of threads about this. Here are a few links I got.
Replace OP amps. Completely pointless, or not?
Why do so many OPs change amps in, for example, the amplifier AIYIMA A07 TPA3255? What's the point of that? Does not modern OPs amps amplify the signal completely linear straight(if the construction they sit in is well constructed, and made to fit OP amp X)? Do not modern OP amps have a...NE5532 or OPA2134
Hi! I have a cd player SONY XA2-ES, It has four opamp NE5532, I'm thinking to change them with OPA2134. Is it really a good sound improvement? Can you give me some advices? Best Regards. Enzowww.diyaudio.com
NE5532 OP chip - worth changing out ?
I have a 'Little Bear B4' portable tube amp and i love its characteristics. Its based around the NE5532 OP chip ..... and do you think its worth while changing it out some something so called 'better' ?

Im interested in op amp rolling for my amp since its not expensive to try out and I was surprised to find a lot of variation between them, the amp has a very simple circuit so my results could be more siginificant than with other amps.

G'day all, I guess that this sounds suspiciously like the subject of 'op amp rolling, but actually it isn't. As much as I think that op amps do have a 'sound', in recent days I've been revisiting the LM4562 and sonically wise, to my ears it doesn't really have that 'typical' op amp signature, it ...
It's endless...
I just don't think you are going to get to any consensus on this. There are many who feel that Fosi and Aiyima should not even have made the products with sockets, that it's a bit of a marketing gimmick, just like the overstated power figures. They can upsell customers though for the more expensive power supplies and the different op-amps. They do better in the end by playing to the never-ending "tweaking" and "refinement" that most of us are prone to.
Thanks for your further thoughts. There's a YT vid on this with music samples. The comments are illuminating, the general concensus is 5532 is good (rare Philips preferred), the OPA2604 is better, with a few outliers preferring (expensive) discretes. I believe Fosi bought the entire stock of OPA2604AP (DIP) & charges an arm & leg.
Yeah, Fosi did jump in and show that was a bogus claim. Their internals are good. The main gripe is some early units had 50V power caps inside, pretty close/too close if one was using a 48v power brick. Since I use 32v and 36v bricks, that doesn't concern me. I think all the current ones have 63v power caps.
