Love the classy black, simply elegant ALL knobs and buttons up front. I like that the gain button is on the same side as the volume, the power on the opposite side of the jack port- prevents accidental power offs.

Hello, Grace!

I do prefer the red light to blue.

With the Beyerdynamics DT880's, 600 ohm version.

If it can drive these nicely, it can drive almost anything, as these are notoriously demanding.

After a couple days of run-in, I will post up my review... A Christmas "Gift" if you will.....

TiffanyPoodleslideI have DT990 600 Ohm. Kind of disappointed with the amp. I have a cheap nobsound ns-08e from ebay and it powered the DT990 much better using the SDAC output. I am no audiophile and cannot use fancy term to describe it but the nobsound has faster and punchier base and voice separate from the instrument much better. Wonder if it needs burn-in. I also have a cheap Superlux HD-668B 56 Ohm which this amp drive it much better compare to the DT990. It almost feel like the amp is not liking the 600 Ohm of the DT990. It still sounds ok but when comparing side by side with the nobsound, it sounds muffled. The SDAC in this on the other hand is awesome. Wonder what other's experience is.
boringuyWe’ll let ya know in a couple of days. Which gain setting have you been using to drive the DT990’s?

TiffanyPoodleslidetried both. Pretty much the same in terms of sound quality but just a bit louder with 3x gain.
Horse_RotorvatorAbout 3&1/2-4 ft. I will measure it exactly tomorrow.

boringuyCorrect me if I'm wrong but I thought the O2 amp was designed for up to 300ohm, so anything more would struggle to drive it?

Jiv_auThat would explain it but from what I have read, it should drive anything. Just ordered the HD6xx as well, I will see when I get it.

TiffanyPoodleslideQuick question for you: Is the cardboard box shown in your pictures also the box that the unit was shipped in, or was it a "box within a box" situation? Long story short, I'm trying to rectify the latest USPS blunder I've experienced, and I might need to open the package while it's stuck in my mailbox.
SunBearDontCareBox with box. The external box was the shipping box. That box in the photo is the Manufacturers box.

Jiv_auI just received mine. It drives my Beyerdynamic DT 880 (600 ohm) phones beautifully. The sound is spectacularly clear, and it can go louder than I'd possibly want.

boringuytheres a good chance the nobsound ns-08e has an uneven response which makes it appear like the bass is punchier/faster when its just bloated. and if its 600 ohm I'm assuming your using high gain

Jiv_authe hd600s are 300 Ohm and it powers them with no issues on low gain, so i think it was designed to tackle even 600 ohm headphones.

TiffanyPoodleslideHeh, thanks again so much for replying after all this time. If you don’t mind me asking, can you speak to the improvement in sound that might come from running the 880’s in balanced?
