Hi Domko,

1) Seems like a good card to me for the money but don't expect too much support from Audiotrak. All I have to compare ti to though is a Creative Audigy1 and 2. It sounds better than both.

2) Not sure about the input opamp. There are 5 replaceable opamps and it's only an 8 channel card, so either the 5th opamp is for the headphone output, or the input.

3) I believe it is better. Time had passed from when I listened to it with the originals and the burr brown ones now. Another few people felt there is an improvement over the originals.

4) The only way to change it would be to replace surface mount resistors. I do not know of anyone that might have attempted this or even though about it. What values, I don't know. Which ones to replace, again I don't know. The outputs were still pretty strong when listening with my headphones though.
