I just love my Objective O2 amp. I have used it for several hours each day since I got it from Mr.Slim. It is paired with a Cambridge Dacmagic and a desktop computer. I like it more than my Decware CSP2 and Stax Srm-1/Mk2 with Stax lambda Pro. My Decware is for sale, and the Stax system was sold today. Some of the money from the Stax sale will be invested in another O2. 

Mine is a Mr.Slim unit too.  Do you have issues with the high gain (clipping) like I do?

He's probably right. 
 
 
I want and ODA!
 
If all goes well I build one over my spring break, instead of doing whatever normal people with lives do over spring break. . . 

I'm not sure what you mean. 
 
I firmly don't believe in SS burn in and I'm an extreme objectivist, but I a-b 'd the O2 with the GS-1 when I got it and the differences I heard then, I don't seem to hear now.... and I certainly know how to a-b something... <shrug>
 
(I don't even want to tell you that the GS-1 matured in a similar way when it was new....)

Hmm, the desktop version has me more intrigued, as I don't need a portable.

Do the desktop as this is not portable either.

Not sure what "not portable" means.  For sure it's much too large and heavy to use in a pocket for most people, but it should be reasonable in a bag or in an automobile or transit of some kind.

"Transportable"

 

[shotgunshane]

It's smaller than I thought from pics.  The footprint is small enough to be portable but it's too thick for pockets, so transportable is a good description.

So yeah.. It's kinda big.

Looks like it's take up as much space as the Fiio E9, which isn't huge, but bigger than can be considered portable.

I wonder how big the desktop version will be?

 

[Maxvla]

About the size of the current Schiit amp/dac lineup would be excellent. Small but not too small.

Asgard: 9 x 6.75 x 2.25”

So it isn't that big. The E9 looks huge in that pic, but in person, it's just a light brick.

Thanks Eric. I miss my Hornet...never should have sold it.

I probably should have just posted this before, but the enclosure is this:

1.18" H x 4.27" W x 3.15" L (30mm x 108mm x 80mm), so roughly palm-sized.
