| Another possible replacement for the NE5532 is the LM4562. In my experience, it is more open-sounding than the AD8599 (which is also a nice chip, but a bit warmer). The LT1358 (dual 1357) sounded good, but didn't wow me compared to the LM4562. BTW, if the rails are higher than 17V (up to +/- 22V), there is the new LME49860. |
