Which Burson or Dexa did you get?


I have the original Minimax DAC and have read numerous reviews both pro and normal people (the most recent was Enjoy the Musics review of the Minimax DAC plus w/ various opamps both discreet and in chip form). One frustrating thing I've noticed is that nobody ever says which discreets they used! Both Dexa and Burson offer many of the same types (827s, 5534 etc) of opamps but for some reason no one says which ones they got whereas they seem to always say which type of DIP OPAMPS they got. Do the discreet people only offer one kind of opamp for the Minimax or what? Thanks.

I just put the DEXA's in my MiniMax DAC and there was only a
single channel and dual channel to choose from. These ONLY
work in place of specific DIP Opamps and we're just
fortunate that they work in the MiniMax.

BTW, these are EXCELLENT!

Here are the ones I got:

Peleg, sorry but you still don't understand. The DEXA and Burson do NOT come in different model numbers. They replace a variety of DIP8 opamps with just one model. It makes it very easy to order. The duals replace whatever DIP8 opamp is in the U1 & U2 positions. The singles replace whatever DIP8 opamp is in the U6 & U7 positions.

You making this MUCH harder than it is. All you need to do is buy (2) each of the single and (2) each of the dual either DEXA or Burson (or mix and match them). You don't need to know anything else.

I did notice that the Bursons are now available with either the long leads or with the DIP8 connector already installed.
Peleg, here is an excerpt from the link you provided:

"This product is offered in two different versions: Single and Dual. Each version replaces a number of industry standard OPAMP's, as used in almost any type of Audio equipment."

The chart on the bottom of the page with all the DIP8 opamps just gives you a list of DIP8 opamps that ONE model of DEXA will replace.
