RCA plugs usually don't have a switch unlike the 1/8" plug...

Thanks, I meant if you plug headphones in will the RCA outs disengage.

Guys,
I tried putting in my hd 600 out of ODAC and for my surprise the sound out loud, is that right?
It was not for the sound is low, because the ODAC has no amplification?
Thanks
Different make and model headphones have widely varying impedances, from a common low of 32 Ω to a few hundred ohms; the lowest of these will have results similar to a speaker, while the highest may work acceptably if the line out impedance is low enough and the headphones are sensitive enough.

Yep, it could be loud on headphones:

Though, others may correct me, I don't think there is much current, so it may not sound very good.
it's normal that the sound is loud out of any DAC, they usually provide close to 2V for an amp input of a few thousand ohm.
now why you shouldn't do that:
-the output of a DAC is usually around 100/150ohm and I have no idea how the ODAC behaves when plugged into a load as low as a headphone.
-you'll have to reduce the volume with your computer, even if you're using 24bit output in foobar, you might very well end up crushing the least significant bits of your music.
Question: Regarding the line out of Odac... is that the "input" hole on my Mayflower o2/odac? What is it used for exactly?
Thanks for help oryan and castle

Excuse me, but I have one more question ...
When I'm listening to music Birdy - Wings, at the beginning of the song has a distortion (0,00 to 0,27 sec), I do not know if it's my problem O2 or ODAC, or is a badly recorded music.
***UPDATE: I'm using this power supply with my O2, this is what is distorting the sound?
Broadxent AA-1675 (http://www.emtcompany.com/broadxent-aa-1675-ac-power-supply-charger-adapter/101318691.html)
That power supply is AC input, 16V DC output. According to the online specs:
- Input: 120V AC 60Hz 17W
- Output: 16V DC 750mA
That won't work at all for the O2. It requires an AC output to the O2. ~16VAC give or take.
Hi all,
Can the o2+odac combo be safely used with a usb hub?
