  probabaly getting one soon although USB-C sockets would be a bit more appropriate than continuing outdated MicroUSB connections.

 
No way. Everything so far that uses usb c either melts, combusts, or overheats.
 
If 500mah from a micro b port works then that's all we need. No need to buy new cables as well just because there is yet another new connector.

I can't wait until Type C becomes used universally everywhere, though.  Until then, it's new cable and adapter city.

If you're just starting out with usb (in general) then prepare for some eventual headaches.
 
I still have a few devices with mini b ports. Micro b exists because everything had to be slimmer but they are nowhere near as robust as mini ports. Went from almost no problems (with mini b) to loose, failed, and broken ports with micro.
 
Now with usb c you have to be extra careful avoiding out of spec cables for safety reasons. With micro b, that's one less headache imo.

@Letmebefrank How does the DAC compare to what you have? Pushes the HD650 with no issues?

With no problem.

With the volume on my PC maxed, I have the pot at about 30% (compared to 50% system volume and 30% on the Jotunheim pot) for a comfortably loud listening level. I'll have to do some more thorough comparisons tomorrow night (run RCA>3.5mm from Mimby into line-in on Fulla 2 and line out from Fulla 2 into Jotunheim), but as of right now I have to say, I wouldn't trade my home setup for it. It sounds much better.... but it also costs 6X as much, so take that with a grain of salt. Listening right now to Rush - Moving Pictures in 24/96, particularly YYZ, and there is discernibly more detail on the Jot/MMB, but the Fulla 2 sounds really good in its own right. It has good detail and good punch, just not on the same level as the Jot/MMB. I would say that it gives a magni 2/modi 2 stack a real hard run for its money.
 
So far this little guy gets 2 big thumbs up from me, and I would say it's the new standard that all budget amp/dacs will be judged by. The fact that it can run right off my phone with no external power is just ridiculous.

This thing doesn't generate any heat.  I think this is a first for me.  The damn thing runs at room temp.

​And a first for a Schiit amp too!

This is my first Schiit.

​That issue with USB-C cables is only relevant for USB-A to USB-C.  Many laptops now come with USB-C, so a C-C cable is what you'd use.  C would be nice, since I could then use a C-C cable from my phone as well.

Is that 1/8" in the front a input?

Yes, intended for simple phone aux usage

Could some1 provide info on how the Fulla2 compares to an ODAC/O2 stack?

Mine arrived today.  Mighty impressed with the build quality at this price point. (And at a higher ones for that matter.) As others have mentioned it has a nice heft to it.  I have no worries of this thing being dragged around by cables. The pot has a good resistance and is quite satisfying.  Got it up an running pretty quickly with a Chromebook and Tidal on HiFi.  It took the secondary power supply to get the Chromebook to recognize the Fulla but once connected and powered up I could remove the cable and everything stayed humming. 
 
Unfortunately not a lot of time to listen but the thing has plenty of oomph to deliver deadmau5 bass and sub bass with a very nice level and control on my HD-580's. It's also very clean, easy to go waaay over safe listening levels. With controls on the Chromebook maxed I stopped at 50% on the Fulla's control knob and started grooving only to have my right ear remind me that tinnitus is no joke so backed it back down a little. So far it has a brighter and slightly more forward presentation than straight out of the jack but with more detail and control.  Just had to give it a whirl before heading into work. 
 
Gonna let it burn in in a bit then try some Plex streaming both from the Chromebook and S7E tonight.  It's nice to have the 580's back in the rotation. I've been settling for Sennheiser GAME One's as they're more sensitive and worked with my current gear. (Which are actually quite decent FWIW)
 
Wish I could help folks wanting amp/dac comparisons but the only one I have to compare it to is the old Little Dot Micro Tube and I haven't busted that out for quite some time.  Having to be quiet at night has just recently shifted my listening back to headphones.

Hey there! I'm planning on buying a dac/amp that's somewhat portable or small but can deliver noticeable SQ improvements. I'm torn between chord mojo and schiit fulla 2. What do you think is a wiser choice to buy? Considering that chord mojo is quite more expensive. Planning to pair it with my Trinity phantom master 4 and headphones that won't be needing much power. Thank you!
