^^^ Indeed and sold ... I'm in for one.
 
I am more interested in the amp itself then the enclosure and I see that the group buy for the front panel is closed.
 
To protect the amp, does anyone have a link or source as to where I can find an enclosure to protect it.
 
Thanks ...

Mine shipped out this past Friday--hoping it'll arrive tomorrow.  John was also nice enough to swap in a wallwart instead of shipping it with batteries, much to my delight.  Saves me a $15 mouser order.

FWIW, I plan on putting an Audiotrak Optoplay inside my O2 so I can have a portable amp/dac combo.

Can I ask how long ago you ordered it, kingoftown1 ? Its one thing to sign up for a 6-week lead time on an amp build, but it starts to drag.

 

[kingoftown1]

I actually put in my preorder on November 11th.  Not too bad of a wait.  I'm pretty sure he has a number in stock now and ready to ship.

Since we're posting pics:
 

 
I have this built with the stock gains at 2.5x and 6x but I'm going to lower it to something like 1x and 3.5x because the stock configuration is way more than I need. With Grados, I barely turn the volume knob on low gain and get plenty of volume. With an LCD-2, I listen somewhere between 10 and 11 o'clock on low-gain.

Clear plexiglass, eh ? I prefer the earlier black faceplate, but for all I know Oliver has painted mine bright pink with purple polka-dots. Luck of the draw, I guess.

Turns out my O2 got here today, but the mailman was just incredibly late.  I've listened for about 5 minutes with the T50RP and so far so good.

Take care it is a PCB build with an option for enclosure only for now, John confirmed in 4-8 weeks he will have the front panels ready for a complete O2, but also   there is the price difference (Jdlabs wins on EPH), and in reference to my cmoy, I like their build quality. But we already ordered it and I think it will be shipping next week (with my own calculation, not confirmed yet), any update about when yours will be shipping?

Any update, I know you are enjoying it ,for sure you got it without the front panel, any  pics????

 

[kingoftown1]

I've only got a terrible cellphone camera that just looks terrible in low light--I'll try to remember to take pics and update this post tomorrow during the day.

 

[Willakan]

Heh, I need to get the camera out for my build. It looks...interesting, especially since I went with a desktop build (RCA and 1/4 inch jacks) and still kept everything on the front panel.

 

[everlong]

Wouldn't it be better to have the DC output back? And could it be an idea to have headphone output both on the front- and the backpanel?

 

[Willakan]

I wanted to save by only getting/making one front panel, so everything went on the front! I'm using the larger case, so it all just about fits.
