JDS Labs Subjective 3 equalizer

Detectit · Feb 8, 2018

I have built the O2 Amp. And must say it's a fine amp.

But as stated more it's a rather dull amp. Or in Audiophile terms a reference sound.

As i like some coloration to the sound i saw the jdslabs O2 equalizer.

But found no reviews or user impressions.
Are there forum members which has one? Hoe does the equalizer sounds and do its job? Worth the upgrade or does it bring noise and muddy sounding.

No one has this unit?

I'm intrigued by it, even though I already own a Schiit Loki Mini, especially considering the much lower price but the most I've ever soldered is a new cable onto a broken pair of KSC75s so I'm not sure I'm up to building this myself.

I have purchased one of these.

Soldering was quite easy, however as mentioned on the site the physical board they give you is quite thin.

As for how this performs, it is excellent, it is completely silent when all three knobs are set to the middle default.
When this unit is turned off it acts as a simple pass through too.

Its really good for making adjustments to the O2 for when you want something else from an otherwise very clean audio source.
