Hi
I'm working on a new preamp and want to use lme49720ha ( I love the sound of this IC)
The only avaible on the market (ebay) come from Cina.
Someone know if this are real one or a fake like sometimes happen ?
Thanks!

Looks like the -HA version (metal can) is obsolete, so since it's not available from official sources (Digikey, Mouser etc), you take your chances with third parties.

But are you now gonna say that the metal can version "sounds" different / "better" than the SOIC / PDIP versions of the same die?

I've tried both and for me there is a difference, but someone can contraddict me...
