Dual Discrete Op-Amp

Audiophile dual discrete op-amp in a DIP8 package. Compatible with a huge number of high-end audio appliances.

Also available from our USA Store

FOR PROFESSIONAL AUDIO EQUIPMENT

The Dual Discrete Op-Amp is specially designed for audio and is among the most musical sounding dual discrete op-amps out there. It is available in DIP8 format and can be used in any CD player, DAC or preamplifier that currently uses DIP8-based IC dual op-amp types.

The overall soundstage and transient detail will be greatly improved when used in pretty much all audio equipment that it can physically be fitted to. It has a very low-noise JFET front end so it can be used with input impedances above 1 Mega-ohm if needed. It can replace the following, provided the equipment it’s being used in has 22mm of height clearance and 5mm side clearance (per side).

  • OPA2604
  • OPA2134
  • TL072
  • NE5532
  • LM4562
  • OP275
  • OP285

Please check that the appliance’s power supply can supply the extra current needed, especially if replacing more than one existing IC op-amp with our op-amp. As with all discrete types, this op-amp draws more current than most IC types. Please refer to the spec sheet for details.

The Orange Dual Discrete Op-Amp is unity gain stable. When using it in new designs where gain (inverting or non inverting) is being added, a feedback loop bypass capacitor of 15pf is all that’s needed to completely stabilise it. The spec-sheet shows a max +/- rail voltage of 18 volts.

All tests up until now have been conducted with this voltage along with +/-15 volts. As soon as we have test results using it on rails of +/-24 volts, we will add it to the spec sheet.

‘I wanted to design something purely for audio. Many Op-Amps perform well on paper but the trouble is, the human ear does not hear quite the same way as test equipment. To me, this Op-Amp sounds more musical, more natural, with the transient sound feeling more real and less synthetic.’
