Hi
If these6386's have applications elsewhere they have a chance.
The whole of the certainly digital and to some extent of the analogue (IC amplifier) audio equipment is due to the scraps falling off the computer dining table.
IC 'op amps' were developed by the need for high gain versatile 'amplification units' needed for analogue computers. Audio people saw an opportunity and specialised them later.
