Willakan, it could be anything in the chain, including the recording. Freddie Mercury was notorious for his sibilant vocals.

Forgot about the recording! I'm clearly spending too much time on audiophile sites...

Listening breifly to my O2 trying to get my head around its popularity.   It is very transperant,  one can distiguish between my cheap DAC vs my expensive one very easily.  But I can't get beyond the sibilance mentioned earlier,  maybe its something else causing it but it isn't there with my other amps.  The amp has amazing clarity but is sharp as a knife.  I guess it deserves more time.

While waiting for my Dacport LX to arrive, my PlayStation 1 is so clear, good soundstage and very good instrument separation with the O2, it brought the prat factor to my songs (as clear but there is sibilance), most importantly I am enjoying it .

Really?  I don't get any sibilance with my Sennheiser 558.  Are you using a headphone that is naturally pretty bright?  I don't use the 558's much because i find it a little boring for the music I like, but definitely not getting any sibilance with them.

I may have missed it but has anyone suggested a good inexpensive usb dac to use with the O2 on a computer?  I was considering picking up the Headphonia usb dac cable for $69.

This is the one he recommends. At least for the cheap price. http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-Control-UCA202-Audio-Interface/dp/B000J0IIEQ
 
Outmeasured the expensive uDAC-2.

I purchased on O2 from a builder in England, and it stopped working after only a few hours use.   I assume I cannot mention the builder by name since they are a sponsor here at HF.  The builder is not returning my emails.  

 

[LizardKing1]

Uhm I think you can mention whoever you want. We're talking about epiphany acoustics? They have a representative here at Head-Fi I suggest you contact him.

 

[Br777]

just remember, its new years/holiday season.. i wouldnt expect a response for at least a day or two.
