An $80 DAC with Swappable Op-Amps? Neohipo fixed the price back to $80.00. Good on them.

GREAT NEWS NEOHIPO FIXED THE PRICE ISSUE. THE UNIT IS BACK TO $79.99 ON AMAZON. For $80.00 it can sound amazing especially if you swap the op-amps. Below is the list of op-amps I used as well as the op-amps the engineering staff at Neohipo recommend indicated with an asterisk. The stock op-amps do sound good but this DAC can punch way above it weight with some tasty op-amp swapping.

NEOHIPO has created a discount code to be sure everyone gets the correct price.; CODE: NKR74AT2

Op-amps I tested: Texas Instruments OPA1656 DIP8 The best choice!
Burr-Brown OPA 2604AAP Just ok.
Burr-Brown OPA 2134PA Very nice.

Neohipo's suggestions: TI NE 4560, 4558, 2068 OPA 2134 & JRCA branded 4560/4558/2068
