LISTENING TIPS
For maximum signal fidelity, set the
DAC to 24-bit audio and adjust digital
volume slightly below 100% at your
computer. Only control volume from
the amplifier.
Objective2+ODAC can amplify
headphones to dangerously loud audio.
Listen safely to conserve your hearing:
www.hearingloss.org
Set sampling frequency to match the
majority of your music (i.e., use 44100
Hz for 44.1kHz music).
To ensure an optimal noise floor,
always position headphone amplifiers
as far away as possible from wireless
devices.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Objective2 does not turn on, or power LED is on but output is silent
Cause: Wrong or missing power adapter
Solution: Connect proper AC adapter
Distortion at high gain
Cause: Objective2 ‘s volume control resides between its input and output stages.
Some headphones can overdrive the Objective2’s input stage. Refer to NwAvGuy’s
blog for thorough explanation.
Solution: Use low gain or reduce DAC volume at computer.
POWER ADAPTERS
ATTENTION: Incorrect power adapters can result in capacitor
explosion hazards and device damage. Only use the power
adapter included with your O2+ODAC:
Type: AC-to-AC Transformer Output Voltage: 15VAC
Current: Minimum 500mA Connector: 2.1x55.mm (ID x OD)
No sound in one channel
Cause: Bad output cable, or incorrect computer settings
Solution: Check balance settings; try another output cable. Some Mac OS X systems
will pan audio to Left channel upon first connection of ODAC. User must restore
balance to center.
Distorted output or “harsh” treble (constant or intermittent)
Cause: Weak USB power, or bad USB cable
Solution: Use a powered USB hub or different computer; try another USB cable
