Thanks. How much improvements did you notice with the Muses compared to original/default op-amp? Worth rolling?

if you want crisp treble and mid bass wide sound stage then go with
Thanks for your suggestion. I like rich engaging vocal and mid-range warmth. Any suggestion? Are Muses suitable for that?

That is a different shroud on the NU Audio. First time I have seen that one but got to say it does look nice. Maybe it's an international version of the card that is different then the silver metal I am used to seeing.

A great feature of the EVGA NU Audio card is the capability for future upgrades and modification by swapping op-amps, sometimes referred to as 'OP-Amp Rolling'. For this we have provided two sockets, U613 and U564, However, the AD8056 op-amp is a very specialized IC and has a maximum operating voltage of 6V (symmetrical +6V, -6V), which means it can only operate in the 5V environment of the Line amplifier, which is socket U613. Socket voltage specification:• U613: +5V, -5V symmetrical, three stage regulated • U564: +14.5V, -14.5V symmetrical, two stage regulated Remember, the AD8056 op-amp will be damaged or destroyed if it is placed in the U564 socket! TIP: Although sockets are provided for 'OP-Amp Rolling' not all op-amps will work satisfactorily or provide better audio quality. EVGA and Audio Note will endeavor to help wherever possible, but we cannot guarantee against poor performance or damage caused by swapping op-amps Muses 01operates at 9v +or - symmetric the sound card can't fully utilize its potential so muses 02 is perfect fit

OPA2134PA
http://www.ti.com/product/OPA2134
Thanks for this tip. i think that is the sound which i prefer.. But i have and question for replacement. In this thread i asked about the both op-amp. The finding was: EVGATech_LeeM
RadioHorst
@jll544: Thanks for the clarification.
So that means for me, if i want to "modify" the sound with an different op-amp, then i can do it:
- for the headphone output at 2 positions (AD8056+OPA275)
- and for line-out "only" at 1 postion = AD8056
So that is very helpful for me and my questions, which i have post in the "Op-Amps Question" thread , because i asked which op-amp i can use to change instead of OPA275 (i use headphone only). In this thread "EVGATech_LeeM" have posted some op-amps to change AD8056. So now i can begin with the AD8056 ....
I'll see if I can get you a little more detailed answer, but yes, you can modify the headphone through both op-amps.
I hear to 100% with headphone. What do you think, which op-amp position (AD8056/U613 or the OPA275/U564 ) i should prefer to change, to put in the OPA2134PA or maybe an Burson Vxy ? Do you have an technical explanation where it makes more sense for replacing (U613 or U564) ? Thanks !

Guys received the famous Linear technology LT1469CN8 it totally changed the sound signature of the sound card first now i can hear the mid bass clearly just like my Burson Conductor V2+ Sound stage is very high with high positioning Treble is even it was very high before now its even. The linear technology LT1469CN8 suits EVGA NU Audio card since i own all Burson V5i,V6V,V6C are costlier then this its more affordable one and this suits gamer and music listeners well good job EVGA please do provide firmware and software update to this card for a long time NOTE:ill post more op-amp rolling in the following years peace out

Since you have the ZxR, whats your opinion with that vs Nu Audio Pro?
To me the SBX Pro Studio software (Crystalizer etc) offers an incredible improvement in audio, espcially in gaming. Does the Nu Audio really compete against that?

If you plug a DAC into your soundcard and send the digital signal from the sound card to the DAC you are bypassing the sound card's DACs and amplifiers, thus rendering having the sound card pointless.
At that point you might as well take the optical output from your onboard audio and send that to your DAC.
