Hi Bob,
Previously I used OPA627BP at U6/U7 (for SS output only) and AD8599 at U1/U2 (for both SS & tube output).
The all-Newclassd configuration is better the AD8599+tube configuration in all aspects except that the latter sounds a bit sweeter.
Top grade opamps such as OPA627SM or OPA128SM are very expensive. They are also difficult to find with many used ones or faked ones in Hong Kong.
I purchased the Newclassd together with a few audiophile friends so as to share the shipping cost. My set of 4 Newclassds costs < USD200. IMHO the Newclassd discrete opamp is better & has much better C/P ratio than all other integrated circuit opamp upgrade. Strongly recommended!
Cheers,
Peter
