may I introduce:

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Just arrived
Can you post some preliminary impressions? I have ordered ODAC and very temted to get it. Need some impressions to keep calm.
Sure, they will be very subjective though as my ears are still smiling
went to my workshop earlier and soldered a couple of the bridges and connectors, went smooth, but the allignment of the connector takes a bit as they sit fairly loose in the guiding holes.

jumpers:
soldered about 3mm snippets of resistor wire in also a "blob" of solder might just do as well.

And this is what I spent the last hours with:

did not mount it in the O2, not sure I ever will. Will be patience and wait for the stand alone enclosure...
Having only a Fiio E10 as DAC so far I do not really have a high end comparison i could make, but I like it and will fit it in a couple of my projects

PS: All paid orders are packed and will be shipped most likely on Thursday, so If you'd like your order shipped this week, please pay Wednesday at the latest.
Thanks

Sorry for the noob question: will it need some other hardware to connect this wonderful piece to my active monitors? (KRK rp8 g2)?
I mean, if i choose the Rca version and have the rca cables is all right? Thanks
Hi graffus,
if you have an RCA to XLR cable I see no problem, the box itself seems to have no RCA in?

Yes, my monitors have RCA in, but i have my beloved Proel "jack to jack" cables so - in case - i will use a RCA (male) to Jack (female) adaptor and i will be ok
I only was wondering if i needed somewhat like a pre-amp, but if no, better.
Thx for the answer

Hey graffus, I'm thinking about picking up a pair of Studio Monitors, I'm looking at either the Behringer B1030A or KRK Rokit RP5 G2, both are 5" woofers.
Have you had any experience with the Behringers since you already have the Rokit? They are both priced very similarly here in Australia with the Rokit being a little bit more expensive.
Also I'll be driving them with either my DACport or ODAC with 3.5 line out. I'd appreciate if you could comment on the Studio Monitors as I'm new to this type of speakers, I'm no mixer therefore will be using them for general listening together with my headphones

this is OT here i think so if you want we can continue in PM or another section of the forum. I didn’t tried those Behringers so i cannot tell you my experience but KRK is known for the very good construction and quality at this price ranges so i think the krks will be the better choose
Anyway, if you will use those monitors only for listening and not for producing i suggest you to search speakers instead of monitors since monitors are known for flat sound and not for "nice" sound. They reveal every imperfection and they are not made for a soft listening of sweet music
I suggest you to find a good music shop, go there and listen some types of speakers with the same tracks and choose what you like. Anyway if you stay on the "monitors idea" i can only guarantee KRK are fantastic
Just as a small update, all parcels are packed for tomorrows post run, I have 5 payments from this batch outstanding, the ones marked orange in the sheet in post #77 please check your PM, Mailbox and Spamfilter
If I have the payment by 06:30 CET tomorrow morning I can still ship them, else you would need to wait until the 2nd batch goes out.
Thanks, Stefan

I’m waitin the first feedbacks from the users
first feedback I got per mail: Da der ODAC sehr gut funktioniert, werde ich evtl. noch einen zweiten bestellen. Ich werde vorerst noch ein paar Tests durchführen.
translates to:
As the ODAC is working very well I will consider to buy a second one after some further testing
Stefan
btw, have you seen that the link to the schematics has been posted here: ODAC - general and technical discussions
Just got my ODAC through DHL - it is tiny.
Looks to be a fun long weekend.
Thanks again Stefan!
Mabur
just got my package..
thanks Stefan..
post your feedback about this DAC as soon as you can i think you are the first costumers worldwide so you have some kind of responsibility
Hi everyone,
first of all thanks for all the compliments from the ones that received their orders already, much appreciated.
Good news for the option 2 orders and the option one ones that are missing parts. I am just back from DHL where I picked up a car boot full of boxes
All missing parts are now available and I will start sending the invoices tonight. Next shipping run will be Friday or Saturday then.
The cases and panels for option 3 and 4 should arrive in the second half of June, still pushing the producer to speed things up a little
