nekatrall 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2012 Received the ODAC from a friend yesterday coming from laptop sound card and s9 as my source this is a step up definitely many steps up from the laptop firstly this babies paired with the O2 is super neutral sound is uncoloured but what amazed me is the details this thing can pick up on adele and michael jackson recordings in flac i was shocked to be able to hear both of them breathe and even take in deep breaths to sing and listening via my DT48a even sub bass appeared cleanly and mind you DT48A is said to have bass cut off at 50/60hz this has got to be the best value for money dac around even so its my first and my only dac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nekatrall 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2012 u should get both as standalone pieces easier if u want to make comparisons of amps via ODAC or comparisons of DACs via O2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalethorn 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2012 u should get both as standalone pieces easier if u want to make comparisons of amps via ODAC or comparisons of DACs via O2 I sympathize with this, but after owning several mini-DAC's now, I don't feel any need to buy a big box, or worse yet two boxes. Soon enough the mini-DAC's will get even better and the big DAC's will be bought by (I don't know actually). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
