Thank You very much for Your explanations. So, the O2 design does not 'prohibit' the 1/4" circuitry.
I'm sure that the 1/4" jack does not 'outstretch' the O2 capabilities and does not affect negatively the sound quality of the O2.
P.S.
I'm not a DIY'er nor and an engineer so I don't understand the (highly) technical stuff

Yes, JDS' ODAC with RCA jacks comes in the bigger case.
The O2 was designed (at least in part) to be a simple, inexpensive project for electronic hobbyists. One of the trade-offs between functionality and price is the lack of room on the O2's circuit board for a 1/4" jack. The O2's designer discusses this on his blog along with instructions for the mods needed for the bigger jack. But, linking to it from this forum is against the rules.
