I did some 2ch testing with my dad's Bose 901 coupled with a 150x2 Onkyo amp. The card managed to drive it very well. I barely hit 1/4 on the volume and it was loud. I did not notice any distortion or noise. Fancy audio effects were disabled as well.

It might not seem much at first, but depending how discerning your ears are you can really feel it. Certain tracks I test, especially guitars, it feels very lively and it is easy to pick out the instruments that "jump out" at you. Before, sounds from the speakers felt blended and a little vague. The vocals are very clear and feels very controlled.

In your case, simply swap out the cheapies and drop in the good stuff. The BB op amps hasn't given me any stability issues.

[EDIT] Looking back, I should've gone for the OPA2107 like the one you have. They are on order. I think I'm getting a tad obsessive over this. >.<
