But why ?
It sounds high-techhy to the unwashed.
**Except that HK never mention it anywhere. The only place you can find
out, is by physical examination, or, if you are like me, by examining
the schematic. I purchased the machine after sighting the service manual.
Are you suggesting that's better than an op-amp? It
sounds like pandering to the audiophools to me.
The battle of audio op amps was won back in the late 1970s, when the 5532
came out. Some people are apparently still catching up.
**Nope. You are. Whilst the 5532 is still a fine OP amp, ther are
superior sounding ones available. The AD825 is my present choice. BTW:
Your preferred choice of CD player (the $25.00 portable) probably uses a
4558 class OP amp. A clearly audibly inferior IC to a 5532/5534.
