They've been renamed to OPA2604. I usually refer to them as the BB2604. Very surprised that Mc started using the JRC stuff.
The op amps are surface mount. To remove the current ones, just take a small pair of cutters that can get into the spacing of the leads. Clip them off. Use a hot soldering iron to remove the rest. To put on the new ones, use a piece of tape across the longer dimension of the chip. Position the chip into place (use clear tape) and then solder 4 of the leads. Once when these are soldered, remove the tape and solder the other 4 leads.
There are other dual op amp packages on the market. You might want to research the better sounding ones.

I see two up front that would need replaced.

Cnet commander came in and works great controlling the ipod on my McIntosh!
Unfortunately it doesn't come with a cnet cable so I had to make one for now and order one off ebay with speedy shipping while this "fix" holds me over.

Cool! Didn't know they made it for the ipod.
Are you still going to mod out the op amps? With the ipod as the main source feed, it won't make much of a difference.
