Substitutes same socket

Parts that fit the same socket: the same function, pin count and pinout. The figures are read off each part's datasheet (this one's from page 2), typical where the sheet gives a typical value, otherwise the maximum. Closest first; the last column says what differs. A different part can change the sound, and a circuit may lean on one particular figure, so read the build document's notes before you swap.

Fits the same socket

Part	Input	Supply	GBW	Slew	Noise	Iq	Boards	Differs
M5218		4–32 V	7 MHz	3 V/µs		1.5 mA	21	Low-noise audio dual the maker calls close to the 4558 and 4559, with ±50 mA load current.
NJM4565D	bipolar	8–36 V	10 MHz	4 V/µs		2.25 mA	2	Drives 20 V peak-to-peak into 400 Ω; the DIP8 (NJM4565D) is listed as discontinued.
NJM2100	bipolar	2–7 V	12 MHz	4 V/µs		1.75 mA	1	7 V max, not for 18 V. Low-voltage dual op-amp rated to ±3.5 V (7 V total), so it cannot run straight from 9 V.
NE5532	bipolar	10–30 V	12 MHz	5 V/µs	5 nV	3 mA	155	rated from 10 V. Low noise and strong output drive, but draws about 3 mA per amplifier and has 200 nA bias current.
4580	bipolar	4–36 V	15 MHz	5 V/µs		3 mA	103	Low-noise, high-output-current audio dual from ±2 V; the DIP8 (NJM4580D) is listed as discontinued.
OPA1678	RR out	4.5–36 V	16 MHz	9 V/µs	4.5 nV	2 mA	6	rail-to-rail output. Surface-mount only (SOIC-8 and smaller), so a DIP socket needs an adapter; standard dual pinout.
UPC4570	bipolar	8–32 V	15 MHz	7 V/µs		2.5 mA	5	Low-noise, wideband audio dual; needs at least ±4 V (8 V) supply.
LM833	bipolar	10–36 V	16 MHz	7 V/µs	4.5 nV	2.05 mA	144	rated from 10 V. Low-noise audio dual; needs at least ±5 V (10 V) and draws about 2 mA per amplifier.
4558	bipolar	10–30 V	4 MHz	2.2 V/µs	7 nV	1.25 mA	1164	rated from 10 V. Bipolar input with about 80 nA bias current, so it needs a DC bias path on each input.
4559	bipolar	?–36 V	4 MHz	2 V/µs		1.65 mA	29	Audio dual with stronger output drive than a 4558 (±10 V into 600 Ω).
