Have the O2 for sometime already, I use it to drive audio technica cks77 and sen hd650. I feel it is lacking in bass to my liking, I found this mod in DiyAudio http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/headphone-s...tml#post2924330 look at post 59, the guy listed out how to do it. I have done it, and I don't have a switch like him to turn it on/off, mine stay on all the time. I found the extra bass I need after the mod. If you want some more bass with O2, you should try this mod, adding the C value will give you higher bass boost.

I copy this out for you "RUN TIME - The default design with 250 mAH Ni-MH batteries has 7 – 9 hours of run time on a charge. "

You can read all about it here http://nwavguy.blogspot.com/2011/08/o2-details.html

You should got the answer there.

a fast test on power, based on volume knob:

1. Miracle CIEM, less than 8 o clock twist
2. DT770 250 ohm 10-11 o clock twist
3. DrVero 150 9-10 o clock twist
4. XP 1 and 3 less than 8 o clock twist

so much power in this thing~

it will become double amping, which no one can be certain it will sound like what, for your situation, if you using on a pc, take the odac, and use the speaker amp, if for living room, then i dont know whistling.gif
