O2 AMP + ODAC
My 7-year old ODAC is :L3000: as dead as a door-nail as was Old Marley in 'A Christmas Carol'. PS.1 What is life expectancy of the ODAC (or the O2 amp)? P.S. 2 I have the O2 and ODAC as two separate units from JDS Labs. Everything is quiet, no hiss, buzz, or any kind of sound. Therefore, I...- JakeJack_2008

O2 AMP + ODAC
Thank you very much. So, certainly teenagers with or without golden ears, or even audiophiles, would not hear any difference. By the way, I have forgotten to mention my setup: laptop (Windows 10) ----> ODAC ----> O2 ----> Beyerdynamic DT 880 (250 Ohm) On another matter. Last week I did...- JakeJack_2008

O2 AMP + ODAC
Hi, I have bought both the Triad P/N WAU12-200 - 12VAC, 200mA and the current one 15VAC, 500mA from you for using in the USA. Not having golden ears, I do not hear any difference in sound quality while using either of them with my Beyerdynamic DT 880 (250 Ohm; 2005 Edition) headphones. Are...- JakeJack_2008

Gaming mouse for large/big hands?
Hi, Thank you for the link. Incidentally, recently I checked out the Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball (no. 4 on the list). It's large but that trackball feature is a pain in the neck - I returned it after a couple of hours of struggling with it. That trackball is so clumsy for me. By the way...- JakeJack_2008

O2 AMP + ODAC
Hi, I've got the JDS Labs O2 amp as a standalone unit which I had bought in Feb 2013. I have just bought a new Tenergy 9V NiMH Battery 2PK and would like to replace the old batteries ( which were installed in Feb 2013 by JDS Labs). Since this is the first time that I am planning to install the...- JakeJack_2008

Gaming mouse for large/big hands?
Hi, I am a novice-casual video game player. I have got large/big hands. I would like to buy a gaming mouse (say, in the rage of $40-60) for sim racing: Assetto Corsa, Project Cars, Grid,... I also play flight simulator games: DCS World (F15,...), Falcon BMS 4.33 (update 3), Ace Combat Assault...- JakeJack_2008

Amp for DT990 250ohm
As a rule of thumb always include the O2 (along with the ODAC) in your search for an amp under $300 (or even much more expensive). I'm using my DT 880s (250 Ohm) with the JDS Labs O2 along with the ODAC and my Toshiba Satellite laptop. I am really very happy. The system sounds great...- JakeJack_2008

Objective 2 (and O2+ODAC) Impressions Thread
No, you are terribly wrong. The O2 and ODAC are very popular here. Way over one year, I bought them from JDS Labs - what a great place to buy - and I am very happy. I'm using the O2 and ODAC with my Toshiba Satellite laptop and the DT 880 (250 Ohm) cans. The system sounds great. ...- JakeJack_2008
