It should work, but you gonna need linear usb power supply to power the ODAC
Hi
I'm thinking of DIYing my own O2+DAC combo in order to give a audio standard across all my PCs. Being in the UK, it appears Headnhifi have the best prices for the kits, but I was wondering if anyone has ordered stuff from them for delivery in the UK and whether that attracted any extra taxes?
It'd be nice not to have a sting in the tail after saving a good amount of building the combo myself.
You pay extra taxes from item from Switzerland?
Switzerland is not EU so taxes apply. But if you choose "Weekly Priority Mail" as delivery option, it's sent from Germany every Wednesday, so no taxes. I guess this is a bit obscured info so many people don't realize it.
Yes. I don't understand it myself but it can't be helped.
I don't mind paying taxes but £8 royalmail fee is way too much, especially when the tax itself is £3.

I did order from them 3 or 4 times and got taxed only once. The only way to avoid taxes is to get lucky.

I did spot this option and read about it on Headnhifis website, but just wanted to check.
Just as I thought; I'll have to take my chances then.
Well, if you use the EU shipping option there should be no duties or taxes for you since it's inside EU. At least that's what it was for me...

my o2, odac have been running for 300+ hours with a DT1350. all i can say it's amazing. didn't sound good first later it gets better and better. not sure why. maybe some breakin and some mental break in. i really like this set up then xonar stx and ma900, however it's different with a open headphone.
one question. when i put the miles davis trumpet on the o2 and odac it sounded like, completely wrong. why is that? anybody tried this? on the stx is ok. the sound is like muffled and like when you halfway plug an earphone sometimes in a player you hear partial sounds.
