Could someone point me to where I could find a good, short M-M 3.5mm cable to connect my separate O2 and ODAC units? Would really appreciate it!!

I have a few of these and they work well

Would it be possible on the O2 to, say, swap out the resistors to set different gains, or the opamps for a higher quality piece that can handle higher loads?
What do you think is the highest gain that the O2 can theoretically handle without clipping?
My ears and my head are telling me the unity gain setting is sooo much better....but I know thats not totally accurate.
I do notice that with unity gain you have to crank the volume knob much farther to get things to liven up so shall we say...
I dont think there is any reason for me to used anything but unity gain with my setup...
I run from a destop pc, usb to the ODAC etc....mostly listen with batteries until I have to charge them up,
I would say that a pair of LCD2's and the O2 and ODAC is pretty much up there with the best....it would be hard for me to imagine anything being an orde of magnitude better than this setup...
And this is not even considering the cost....which we all know it this case is the deal of the century for head amps and dacs....

It's not really theoretical, as it's been tested and confirmed. Again, check the blog or ask around.
I'm not saying your advice is theoretical, as you clearly know what you're talking about. I'm confused by more than the basics myself when it comes to electrical engineering. I'm not questioning your knowledge in the slightest.
Maybe someone could be interested in purchasing great DESKTOP O2/ODAC combo (1/4 headphone out, RCA outputs etc.)...

As for the sound, this unit sounds a bit more transparent
