The thread will get much bigger. Trust me.
The thread will get much bigger. Trust me.
It will be somewhat repetitive though. It would help if, in future, anyone dropping by would read the thread so far and really consider if they need to ask a question that has been asked (and answered) multiple times before.
If you already know in advance what the answers will be, it's boring and you also know pretty much exactly what the dividing lines of the arguments will be.
It's why we have these collector threads. It keeps the dross out of the more interesting areas.
Your thread was repurposed and your OP replaced, to now be used as an example thread of what not to expect from opamp rolling.
Perhaps with a more smooth and chocolate sounding OP amp it will be better...What you said sounds bad. I'll try reading it with different op-amp
Just to clarify slightly. His OP was not replaced, but an additional post as added before that one as an explanation of what this thread is now for.
OK, we don’t need to dance around this. We (The Moderator Team) hijacked your @DreaminquE thread. We did it in an attempt to make the issue more understandable and to include a broader rage of related issues. We work as a team here and your initial post was very helpful in organizing the crew to address this issue head on and to make a specific thread directly relevant to your questions/inquiries. Now it will be used as a collection thread for future inquiry posts. This is the new Master Thread for all things “Op Amp”. One stop shopping. Thank you @DreaminquE for your contribution and you should feel proud that your post rallied the crew to action.

Thank you. Fixed.
Yet my preamp with a 5534 a side has a wide and deep soundstage *if it's there in the recording* and I discovered my cobbled fifty year old Spendors can actually reproduce it slightly better than a rather more modern take on the speaker basic design. The sound can be sweet or acidic from track to track or album to album and after a direct vs. through-preamp comparison years ago when I felt my 'ears' were better, I'm damned if I could hear any difference if volume levels were as accurately matched as I could get them (scientifically matched, there'd be no difference at all I'm certain).Holy shit, this is what Aiyima themselves have to say about what it sounds like with different op amps in their A04 & A07!
NE5532: The resolution is average, the high frequency is relatively dry, and the low frequency is relatively muddy and fat.
OP275: Better resolution, low frequency and sound field than NE5532.
EL2244: The timbre is neutral, the sound field is relatively wide, the high frequency is okay, and the mid-frequency music tastes poor. Some people say that the resolution is very high. In fact, it is because the low-frequency volume is less, the mid-frequency is thin, and the high-frequency is prominent. It is more difficult to use well.
LT1057: The two ends extend well, and the speed, dynamics and resolution are also quite good, but it is a cool tone.
AD827: The extension is very good, the resolution is high, the high frequency is gorgeous, the intermediate frequency is pure and thick, the low frequency dive and the strength are good, the sound field expands forward and backward, the speed is good, the dynamics are good, and it feels very exciting. It feels refreshing. But after listening for a long time, I found many problems. 1 Although the three-frequency band, the sound field is very wide, the momentum is strong, and the opening is wide, but the structure is a bit loose and not tight enough. 2 The vocal part is average, sometimes large In the dynamic state, the vocals are submerged by the soundtrack. 3 It is not detailed enough, which is more than passion but not tender enough.
OPA2604: It feels like an upgraded version of NE5532, with great improvements in all aspects, good resolution, better musical taste, courageous, solid sound bottom and a bit rigid, and the overall quality is very good.
DY649: Compared with OPA2604, the resolution is better. The high frequency part is slender and soft and rich in overtones. The sound bottom is not thicker than OPA2604. It has a clear and detailed feeling. The music picture is very clear. The vocal part is round and transparent, and sweet. The sweet feeling, human voice (especially female voice) is its strong point.
DY639: The overallity is slightly weaker than DY649, but it has the characteristics of tube amplifier.
DY669: Not too different from OPA2604, pure and thick voice.
AD712: The resolving power is very good, the sound is clear and without coloration, a very transparent feeling, the sound bottom is detailed, and the low frequency is slightly less.
The OP Chip Can Use on AIYIMA A04 & A07
Currently, the op chip used on AIYIMA A04 & A07 is NE5532. Although NE5532 performs well, many audiophiles still want to improve the sound quality by replacing the OP chip. Here we recommend some replaceable OP chips. NE5532: The resolution is average, the high frequency is relatively dry, and...www.aiyima.com

Written to satisfy HiFi subjectivists.How convenient, there seems to be a correlation where the more positive or elaborate descriptors are used, the higher the price of the op-amp.

IMO many people choose to believe lies because it's easier. There's little need to fully understand the issue or apply critical analysis. It's the path of least resistance. It's like eating processed food out of a package when you are hungry rather than cooking a proper meal. It satisfies the immediate need and the solution requires the least amount of effort. It's ironic that once they go down that path they can sometimes expend substantial effort blindly defending that decision, effort that could have been spent learning and doing critical analysis.
Requiring reactance theory and OP amp fundamentals/ That's actually a fairly intense study for most people especially from home without a instructor prodding one along to learn.
I was replying to Jim's general comment, not specifically in the context of OP amps. Having said that one doesn't have to be a virologist to make an informed decision on a vaccine. It's about doing what you can to separate the lies from the truth not necessarily doing the science to be able to arrive at your own truth.
You missed to say: But you write in this thread so..?
However, in practice it can become a lot if you constantly have to argue about small, relatively insignificant things. Wasn't it Doodski who started a thread about some damn stubborn neighbor he was constantly arguing about electronics with? A neighbor who apparently knew nothing about electronics but didn't give up his position, view of whatever it was, no matter how objectively wrong he was? Arguing with such a person can suck the energy out of anyone. Wait...I'm doing a search.....it was this thread:
