I literally bought this a month ago ffs. Best internal soundcard in the market right now. To get the most out of these, consider upgrading the stock op-amps to something like Sparkolabs, Burson V5s or Burson V5is.

seamonI have this card, and I'm considering to replace the op-amps with Sparkolabs. Do I replace the two dual op-amps or all four including the single ones if I'm only using headphones + mic? I'm kind of a newbie to this stuff.

softcatsocksReplace all 4. Dual op-amps go in the I/V and single in the buffers. IMO, go for Burson V5 or Burson V5i. They are better than Sparkolabs. Burson V5 are the best but they are very big and may not fit in your case. Burson V5i are almost similar to Burson V5 but with a smaller(not by a lot) sound stage and a little less detail. They fit with the EMI shield on. Sparkolabs don't fit with the EMI shield on and are not as good as either. Sparkolabs reduce the bass by a lot actually.
