Did he actually say he preferred the Wolfson chip, I can't remember ?

OPA2107 are supposed to sound a lot like the OPA627 (singles)
I've a range of op-amps here which I'll try and compare when I get one of these dacs, see which ones ring, which ones behave etc.
Somebody has to start a sticky, nobody has bitten yetso I'll do one when the times right

I look forward to your impressions when you get the box back. Is it just a chip swap-out, or are other components involed?

Regarding the Maplin PSU 12v/13.5V issue....
On the 7510 I found 13.5V to be a bit too forward and artificially heightened.
So I ran it at 12V.
The 7520 with Tirna 4032 OP Amps..??
Somethings just clicked into place.
The "in your face-ness" of 13.5V on the 7510 has been replaced with far more focussed soundstage - and it was scary good before.
Can sum it up best by saying the music sounds more "real" - more dynamic, more PraT, better seperation.
I listened for a couple of days then went back to 12V.
No contest, its back to 13.5.
Cant recommend it enough.
Trailer?
The Wolfson Dac change, is it for that one thats in the Linn DS?

Cheers for that Gaz, now how about the link to Maplin's web-site and accompanying rise in site traffic and sales it'll produce
