I also have that scratching issue and only in right channel. Started after some 2 months maybe? Bought from Head'n'HiFi. But since it happens only when turning the knob, it keeps me calm.
The problem could affect the right channel more often because of the way that particular model of pot is built.
I was thinking of getting this amp, but I was wondering if there will be any more noticeable changes with my ATH-M50s than say my motherboards integrated sound? I will purchasing the V moda M100s soon as well and I just wanted my audio to be more refined and having a better sound stage, etc.

Finally got it, desktop version of O2/ODAC combo with RCA outputs! My LCD-2 rev2 seem very happy now... So my ears are!
I have a realtek and it's pretty near dead silent on my highly sensitive etymotics. The only way I can tell that there is noise is by plugging and unplugging, and the slightest, tiniest bit of shh disappears.
For an off-the-shelf chipset, already implemented, noise is probably the only thing that could be a problem if the manufacturer doesn't pay attention, but apart from that it should be hifi (perfect square waves, no audible distortion, flat frequency response etc).
That is awsome! Is that DIY or special order from JDS?
It's problematic to make claims about Realtek like this. Realtek is a company who makes a variety of chipsets. One cannot generalize to all Realtek chipsets, especially given that implementation is a factor. It's not much better than trying to claim that all Geforce cards can play Crysis at 1080p on high frame rates.
Have a look at my profile, I have a bit more images there... For example:
It's from Mayflower Electronics (but they cooperate with JDS)... It has 1/4 headphone out, RCA out (but you can choose RCA in instead I think), 1/8 in and SIP adapters (in order to be able to use different gain resistors, you have to do a request for this). This particular one also has different volume knob, rubber feet and few internal tweaks (like better capacitors etc.). You can order O2 desktop amp alone, or have ODAC installed inside (as I have).
That is pretty darn cool. I kind of wanted a version like that but I have the standard JDS lab version. From the website it looks like you cannot buy it with an ODAC tho. . .
it's not the video. Play anything else bassy and you will hear it.
Nope. Tried some bass heavy music with Foobar. No issue.
