Thank you so much! This was exactly what I needed <3
Ok. So this:
Fran says 2x 386-N1s(not N4s) and 1xTLC2262(I'm assuming, she just says 2262).
386 comments are about 2 minutes in, 2262 comment is later around 13:30.
I have to go back and check my unboxed build but I don't remember those being specific.
Also, Fran "f*cking hates sockets".

I saw that when I was building mine out but wasn't going to spend the time looking for the n-1 chips. I have LM386L chips in mine which are basically the 4 iirc. I don't buy that it makes a difference, a 386 is a 386 in this application. I don't get the hiss and my guess is that she's right and they aren't even real LM386 chips
I also don't like sockets in the vast majority of applications especially when not prototyping or experimenting with a build

I always understood that the biggest thing with the N1s was they were designed for 9v operation, vs N4 etc being for higher voltage rails. The N4s etc work at 9v, but the bias network for the AB stage was designed for higher voltage.
I.e., the N1 was built for the 4.5v bias we use.
Consequently, I've wondered if a N4 build sounds.much different at 12v. I'm sure the headroom increase would change it, regardless.
But when you're slamming them rail to rail any way, whatever. Fords and Chevy's bounce off a brick wall the same way.
Edit: for future lookers, as of 07/23 the N1s are still available at mouser for 1.17 each when you buy the bakers dozen.
