Its a nice chip as long as it behaves in the circuit its used in, good at driving a wide range of loads so should be suited to driving cans
I was meaning soundwise Leo.
I think most folk seem to prefer something like the 4032 in the 7520 as it brings out the music more.
I found something like the 4032 in the Wolfsoned 7520 too harsh, whereas the AD826 tamed this down and struck the right balance. Just wondering if the AD826 would be "too smooth" in the standard 7520?
