Mitsubishi M5218AL as a.....?

I came across a Mitsubishi M5218AL (SIP 8 pin) amongst my junkpile of stuff.
It's a very low distortion dual op amp mainly used as a headphone amp in some equipment.


I'm curious, and open to suggestions before I go into anything with this, but would it be possible to use this chip as a pre-driver of sorts to drive some hefty output transistors directly, or with an additional transistor before the outputs?

Yes...it's quite a powerful op-amp.and it sounds good too.
rutger's project...but you might wanna run it at +-15v without bootstrap.
here you have Rutger's ssa35 project and a Studer a820 monitor amp.
