Hey guys,

Here a little info

The case was brought off the shelf, I drilled the holes ect. This was bought off toabao. For about 10 usd.

Tone Bored was bought off toabao on sale for about 70usd. I Soldered on the back of the rca connectors for the input of the O2.

The O2 was bought mabey in 2012? From JDS Labs themselves. I then removed the battery terminals and cut the pcb for fitting purposes.

Did a few mods to the O2 itself, I added a rear power port.

It's sounds great. I was previously using a Asus xonar stx as my DAC. That broke so I figured it was time for something external.

This was a fun DIY project and I recommend anyone to copy me! I'll be happy to help and share some useful videos and resources.

If you have any criticism please let me know! I would love to improve!

Thanks for reading!

This is an excellent project, thank you for sharing! I'm getting ready to DIY something myself, but i haven't figured out what as yet...most likely a Dac/Amp combo like yours.
