QUOTE(wim1983 @ Sep 6 2013, 01:58 PM) hmm, maybe is the headphone leh? Since you using same circuit board, but there is no way to prove that the board is better/same/not better than original manufactured board oh?  I know u might like the O2 very much,but just remember,the O2 still got certain performance limitation,doesn't matter it's DIY build or JDS Labs build,mainly due to the circuit design. And remember,the O2 doesn't carry the so call "original" manufacturer,as it's an OPEN source design,meaning the parts list and the PCB design files are downloadable.You can make you own O2 also. Hope this help

Nice tight bass. Don't want an amp that just blasts the bass and make everything muddy. Budget : small budget 100-300+- Any budget amp with those characteristics? Thanks in advance  Add extra 50 or 100 budget,think can get more options.....

QUOTE(hypermax @ Apr 1 2014, 12:35 PM) O2 is actually not superior. It's just very neutral. At first it sounds nice becuz it's freaking neutral. But after a while, it gets boring as it can sometimes be too analytical, especially when paired with monitor headphone like ATH M50. O2 is a bargain for its price, but it is by no means the "reference" amp. It measures well no doubt, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. The best way to survey for an amp is by auditioning it yourself. You are the judge, becuz everyone's taste differs. So dun take other's word for it. Just my 2 cents  Funny thing is,I feel a bit bassy with O2+ATHM50,only neutral with O2+DT880PRO....
