• "IMHO swapping the OPAMP in the Paradisea can make an even more dramatic change than swapping out tubes."
  
• In regards to the original OPAMP LM4562 "this is the original OPAMP that shipped with my Paradisea+ DAC. For my system, and specifically, what I like my Grado RS1's to sound like, this OPAMP is my least favorite so far. It's just too sharp and edgy to sync well with my headphones and amp. It's very detailed but sort of cold and clinical sounding. Others online love this OPAMP, though, so please check it out and decide for yourself."  
  
• In regards to the OPAMP228P "I tried this OPAMP at the suggestion of another user at Audio Circle and loved it. It's a fine medium point between the LM4562's sort of sterile sound and the very rich sound of the OPA2604 and it's much livelier and rich than the 4562. It sounds spot on for me (at the moment)."
