Application
:
Generally the IC op-amp application is designed for industrial usage. When the
IC op-amp is used for audio, the performance is less than satisfactory. This
discrete op-amp uses accurate matching of components and audiophile grade resistors,
combined with dedicated audio design circuitry which gives a smooth and natural
output sound. This discrete op-amp can be used to replace existing op-amp in
amplifier or CD/DAC as an upgrade.
Quality
assurance: Every
OPA is thoroughly tested twice on professional equipments , Our priority is
Quality first, followed by Efficiency.
OPA
– Earth : Audio-GD’s generation discrete op-amp has been sold throughout
the world by other marketing means. This discrete op-amp utilizes integrated cascode
circuit with the schematic based on single channel circuit which is an
improvement based on new improved parameters and technology. The sound characteristics
is neutral and natural. THD Less than 0.0005%(1KHz), Operating voltage:±9 TO ±25V,Open loop gain:35DB,Operating current: Approx. 28MA(Single OPA),Approx. 56MA(Dual OPA). Products have been upgraded to Cap Model, using EVOX MMK capacitors.
Audio-GD were
the first to make and sell HDAM (OPA): They were the first to make and sell OPA-EARTH
or sometimes called " HDAM " in China and overseas market .
OPA -
Moon : This
discrete op-amp uses dual differential gain stage and single ended output stage
circuit design , we try and audition for a long period of time . The OPA-Moon
sound characteristics is a bit of tube-like (vacuum valve) , soft and slightly
thick, and full of emotions . THD Less than 0.0008%(1KHz), Operating voltage :±9 TO ±25V,Open loop gain:33DB,Operating current:Approx. 28MA(Single OPA),Approx. 58MA(Dual OPA) Products have been upgraded to Cap Model, using EVOX MMK capacitors.
OPA-SUN
(Version 2) : This
discrete op-amp uses full balanced circuit design which is widely appreciated
by our Hong Kong and American followers among our other products. THD Less than
0.0003%(1KHz), Operating voltage :±12 TO
±20V,Open loop gain:36DB,Operating current:Approx. 25MA(Single OPA),Approx. 50MA(Dual OPA).(Products have been upgraded to
Cap Model, use EVOX MMK capacitors. )
What's
new of SUN (Version 2) : Audio-GDstarted
selling the new version from 15th September , 2008. Taking into
consideration customer feedbacks and suggestions, they adjusted the circuits
and parts , improved upon the earlier version and came up with OPA-SUN (Version
2), OPA-SUN (Version 2) does not sound as bright as the original
SUN, but it maintains the energy, huge dynamics and good impulse
response (fast).
The
discrete op-amp not only can replace typical single or double output op-amp,
but it also has a separate earth(ground) wire which can be connected to the
earth of the player. Even if the earth wire is not connected or used, the
output sound will have slight difference. The user can choose to decide on
their own configuration, but we recommend connecting the earth wire to
ground. Please do not connect OPAs earth wire to AC power socket ground.
