Well, no need really - a lot (probably most) of the music we listen to has already passed through several 5532/4 opamps (or worse - much worse) with power supplies you and I wouldn't allow in the house, so there is no going back from there. Messing around with the opamps in the TP will make it sound different for sure, but absolutely better (more accurate)? Categorically not. Just "better" for you - which is fine. DAC output stages are like cartridges - pick one to suit your own taste. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
