I get flamed everytime I mention you know who. Anyway, I can't wait for the ODA. 
 
"Getting back on topic, I'll be publishing some DAC tests soon and I'm still looking into an internal (single box) solution for the upcoming desktop version of the O2."

It is worth noting that NwAvGuy has absolutely no intention of designing a DAC himself, for reasons along the lines of the fact there are plenty of cheap, good ones and they're much harder to build and design.

Despite the innate and PUTATIVE quality of the O2, the addition of an internal DAC section would not compel me to build/purchase. OTOH, if NwAvGuy were to also add modern DAP features -- emulating QLS-QA350 or HiFi-Man 801, Colorfly C4, etc. -- but w/o video/games/fancy LCD ... that would be a unique and worthwhile project.

I fail to understand what you're getting at here - if you mean rolled-off treble he'd definitely want to avoid it.

I think he means turn the Objective2 into a portable player

Yup ... or creating ANOTHER "Objective n" device with MY requirements. The only ones that matter, of course

While we're at it why don't we ask him to replace the batteries with a portable fusion reactor which will power the amp for 5 straight years from the tritium in your wrist watch?
 
Under $30 in parts from Mouser as well please.
 
It shouldn't be that hard, but thanks for the effort anyway!

Fusion's overrated, ... I think I could get this to work in an O2.

I have a 5v source so I need a redesigned version.

You have a 5V source without a volume knob? The one in your profile isn't.
 
EDIT: Bleh, missed the sarcasm (I did didn't I?)

Pay me a reasonable sum (I accept payment in pure gold cables) and I will redesign the O2 to work with your 5V source! Since I'm so pro, I could get the new O2 approved with Lord Voldemort. But that would cost extra.

Oh crap I need to register as a sponsor first.

Don't forget to upgrade the opamps, too! All the ones in this amp are too cheap to sound good.

I assume you're being sarcastic. If not ... Huh?????!

Whoa Nelly .... Aren't op-amps ... uh ... amps?

He is indeed being sarcastic.
