TokyoexpresswayHello, thanks for sharing. Just wondering how easy is it to swap? I have no experience changing circuitry/capacitors, unfortunately.
genghiskhanplLine out Op-amp swapped. I chose burson V5i-d amp. Sounds awesome now!
bcavnaughgenghiskhanplLine out Op-amp swapped. I chose burson V5i-d amp. Sounds awesome now!Looking at the V5i-D myself.https://www.bursonaudio.com/products/supreme-sound-opamp-v5i/Did you review the v6?Or are they to big to use on the NU Audio Card?https://www.bursonaudio.com/products/supreme-sound-opamp-v6/
Measuring 12.4mm X 14.5mm X 29mm (0.48 in x 0.57 in x 1.14 in) the V6 are the smallest discrete op-amps in the world. They conveniently fit wherever they’re used.
genghiskhanplYou just pull it out and install new one - with your fingers :) Very easy operation.
sovereign73811genghiskhanplYou just pull it out and install new one - with your fingers :) Very easy operation.BTW you mentioned the Burson V6. You sure that'll work? It happens to be that a seller (that is authorized by the way) on Amazon is selling the V6 dual op amps. I'm no stranger to audio equipment but this will be the first time rolling op amps. So if I'm reading the specs right according the Burson site, the V6 can handle voltages as low as 3.5V to a max of 16.5V. The socket you put the V5i in is the 4.5V socket. If that works then that means I can put a V6 into the headphone socket too? That's the socket on the Nu Audio rated at 14.5V.
Dual Op-amps: AD823, AD823AN, AD8066, AD8620, AD712, AD827, C4570, JRC4556AD, JRC4580, JRC5532, JRC5532D, JRC5534, LF353, LM4562, LME49860, LM833N, MUSES8920, NE5532, NEC4520, NEC4570, NJM2068D, NJM2114, NJM2214D, NJM4558, NJM4558D, NJM4560, NJM5532, NJM4558P, OP275, OPA1612, OPA2277PA, OPA2132, OPA2134, OPA2604, JRC4558, RC4558D, RC4558P, TL052, TL072, MUSES01, MUSES02, MUSES8820, MUSES8920, MUSES8832
AstroGazerWhy only 5.1 over optical.When will you have 9.2 over optical for new gaming games.
Valliant1972Will this card get Stereo mix like the majority of onboard and add in cards..Asus xonars for instance. I like this card for the ability to change op amps like the Xonar essence. But the lack of stereo mix is disappointing.

EVGA NU OP-amps:Headphone - ADI OP275Line Out - ADI AD8056 Compatibility list from the Burson V6 page I linked above - Dual Op-amps: AD823, AD823AN, AD8066, AD8620, AD712, AD827, C4570, JRC4556AD, JRC4580, JRC5532, JRC5532D, JRC5534, LF353, LM4562, LME49860, LM833N, MUSES8920, NE5532, NEC4520, NEC4570, NJM2068D, NJM2114, NJM2214D, NJM4558, NJM4558D, NJM4560, NJM5532, NJM4558P, OP275, OPA1612, OPA2277PA, OPA2132, OPA2134, OPA2604, JRC4558, RC4558D, RC4558P, TL052, TL072, MUSES01, MUSES02, MUSES8820, MUSES8920, MUSES8832 So the dual OP-amps for the headphones are direct compatible but you would need to contact them about the AD8056 for compatibility
EvoLunaticHave you seen the V6? It's literally a tower. You won't be able to keep the cover on.Now if someone at EVGA will tell us that the cover doesn't shield against RF and EMI then I'm game to order the Burson V6 right now.
ty_ger07The headphone jack flopping around at 0:27 isn't confidence inspiring. You can see that the jack is designed to have a nut securing it, but EVGA omitted it for whatever reason.
AirdooThe ability to monitor the microphone input to the headphone/line out without a noticeable delay (Typically within the driver software itself). As well as a stereo mix input option. In my research I haven't been able to find confirming the existence of either of these features.
genghiskhanpljust installed Burson V6 Vivid op-ampfirst impressions: JUST WOW! nice improvment to burson v5i I had beforewider sound-stage, better separation, dynamics.....
sovereign73811Funny I was about to ask about if it would work on the speaker op-amp slot. My two just arrived and I put one on the headphone op-amp slot. WOW. But does this mean...I can put two V6 op-amps on BOTH slots?
jll544sovereign73811Funny I was about to ask about if it would work on the speaker op-amp slot. My two just arrived and I put one on the headphone op-amp slot. WOW. But does this mean...I can put two V6 op-amps on BOTH slots?That's a very interesting question... please share your experience if you try it. I've also been looking into trying Bursons. The NU Audio headphone amp taps into the line-out signal path, so replacing the line-out op-amp affects the sound of both outputs. So, the question is, would replacing both line-out and headphone op-amps make things even better, or is it overkill?
