3E Audio, a recognized player in the DIY world, now offers a Class D Stereo amplifier incorporating audiophile Hi-Fi components. The A5se amplifier is based on one TI TPA3251 chip in BTL configuration, and two dual NE5532 OPAs. This means it can deliver up to 2x140W into 4 ohm.

In terms of connectors, the 3E Audio A5se features an RCA input, a convenient balanced XLR/Jack 6.35mm combo input, and an output on speaker terminals. The RCA input gain can be adjusted (LOW=23dB, HIGH=26dB), and the preamplifier stage and volume control can be bypassed for use as a power amplifier. Versatile and high-performance, this little amplifier is able to offer a good reserve of power while preserving the final sound reproduction.

Interchangeable DIP8 OPAs

3E Audio A5se: Interchangeable OPAs

The preamplifier stage of the 3E Audio A5se is made up of two double NE5532 OPAs mounted in DIP 8 and easily replaceable with pliers, thanks to the design of the case. In fact, the OPAs can be accessed through two hatches without opening the case. Here's a non-exhaustive list of compatible OPAs: OPA1656, OPA1602, OPA2134, NE5532P, LME49720, LM4562, MUSES02, MUSES8920, NJM4580, NJM4556, NJM2068, OP249, AD827, etc.

Please take care not to damage the device or the OPAs when replacing or handling them. Any damage to the device caused by improper handling by the user (reverse mounting of OPAs, mounting of non-compatible OPAs, etc.) will invalidate the product warranty. Please refer to the manual to carry out the operation.
