The power supply converts AC to DC, and the DC is what powers the amp.
There are separate SKUs for the 120VAC and the 240VAC as the 120VAC is generally used in the U.S., and the 240VAC abroad with some less than obvious exceptions. The amp itself comes in two flavors, the first being standard gain, and the other being medium gain. So, there’s ultimately four SKUs to choose from depending on (a) how much gain you require, and (b) which AC to DC adapter you need for your locality.
Regarding the power adapter, they’re easy enough to find and replace if you ever need to do so. They’re practically a dime a dozen on sites such as Amazon and eBay. You could probably even reach out to Drop Support and purchase an original from them, but I have not verified this.
If you take a look at NwAvGuy’s original post regarding the O2 amplifier, you’ll see that the O2 is designed to take 2 - 9V batteries as a source. A quick Google search turns up power supplies in the neighborhood of 15V, 16V, etc., so two 9V batteries connected in series should get you there as basic electronics theory teaches us that voltage is added in series, and current in parallel. You may need to throw a resistor into the mix, but why bother?! You’ll quickly find some very inexpensive adapters to choose from!
The best advice I could give you is to simply find a good stationary spot for your O2 and keep the cables out of view, so nobody trips on them. It’s a desktop amp anyhow, so if you need to bring a headphone amp with you this is definitely not it. I really wouldn’t worry about the adapter/cable. Just buy it and enjoy the amp! ✌️

Just curious, would these be decent being used on PC for things like Discord and avid gaming? I ask because I currently have the Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X’s right now and I don’t have a use for the mic attached to it anymore (using an external mic because why not?). I figure why not look into a new set of headphones.

The tuning was great, very HD800 like without the strange wide sound stage.. However for my head the arms don’t extend enough to fit the ear. As it is noise cancelling headphones like small ear cups.
My ear lobes bottom is slightly touching the ear pad. Ok for 30mins not ok for a few hours

No storage, no Bluetooth and no input. So where does the music come from that this is supposed to play?

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
