DQ-LP1 Transformer

Afternoon fellows, Don’t post very often, but get a great deal from your discussions.
 I am running 2 McIntosh 2205s to run 2 pairs of DQ-10. 2 MC2100s to power 2 DQ-1W with a c20 preamp. My crossover is a DQ-LP1.
My question has to do with DQ-LP1 upgrade I am trying to do. I’m thinking of changing out the transformer for a higher current in order to accommodate new opamps. Is there a rating that would be ideal? I have just enough knowledge to get into trouble! And also, I am not particularly concerned with being able to put the “lid” back on. Thanks in advance for your input and expertise.

The DQ-LP1 use a 35mA transformer, to accommodate new opamps with higher current draw, a transformer with 100mA capacity should be adequate.
You can find some low profile transformer like this one and not to concerned with being unable to put the “lid” back on.
