For audio, the main things to look at in an op-amp are noise, slew rate, bandwidth, and THD+N. Low noise is important in preamp stages, a decent slew rate keeps transients clean, enough bandwidth avoids Roll-off in the audio range, and low THD+N keeps the sound transparent. That’s why audio circuits usually use parts like the NE5532/5534, OPA2134, TL072, or LM4562/LME49720. They’re designed for low distortion and good sound quality. You can use general-purpose chips like LM358 or 741, but they’re noisier and distort more, so they’re not ideal for hi-fi. For anything beyond hobby-level, an audio-grade op-amp is the safer choice.
