Ask for a recommendation for a top of the line op amp

For the production of headphone amplifiers, we recommend using the LM4562, which has a wide operating voltage range and ultra-low distortion.

The LM4562 is a high-fidelity dual op amp introduced by National Semiconductor Corporation in recent years, and its distortion is ultra-small, with only total harmonic distortion and noise (THD+N), in other words, the distortion of this op amp is almost negligible.

The LM4562 chip has the advantages of extremely low distortion rate, low noise, high slew rate, wide operating voltage range, and large output current, resulting in unprecedented performance. Because of these benefits, this op amp is suitable for professional and high-end audio systems such as audio and video system receivers, preamplifiers, audio decoders and hi-fi amplifiers, as well as a variety of medical imaging systems and industrial equipment.

The unique design of the LM4562 chip includes a high-speed 6MHz unity-gain bandwidth op amp and a proprietary stereo audio driver amplifier. In standard operation, the op amp has input noise densities as low as 60Hz in the midrange noise corner and 26mA output current, which can drive 600 into a load. The LM4562 chip has a slew rate of 20V s and a gain bandwidth product of up to 55MHz.

The LM4562 chip can operate stably from a supply voltage range of up to 17V, with a maximum output current of up to 45mA. The input circuitry has a common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and a PSRR of more than 108 dB and an input bias current as low as 10 A (typical) when operating over the above supply voltage ranges.

What do you mean by top? Does the amplifier count?

In the op amp index, some indicators are high, and some are bound to be low, depending on your requirements, there is no best, only and not applicable!

There are many indicators of op amps, such as accuracy, bandwidth, input impedance, noise, output current, whether the output is full of power amplitude, and so on.

No single op amp is the best for all indicators, so the "best" choices will vary depending on the need.

For example, if you amplify a weak signal that changes slowly, a high-precision ICL7650 is good, if you are amplifying a high-frequency signal, you should choose a high-speed op amp, and if the output impedance of the signal source is very high, you should choose a high input impedance op amp such as CA3140.
