The EHP-O2Di combines the award winning headphone amplification technology of the EHP-O2 and the critically acclaimed 24 Bit USB DAC from the E-DAC in one small desktop enclosure - perfect for your home head-fi needs as well as offering the functionality to slot into an exisiting home hi-fi set up.

Taking the bit perfect digital signal from USB or the analogue signal from your chosen source component, the EHP-O2Di offers premium quality and flexibility in a home environment.


The headphone amplifier section has been designed from the ground up to offer some of the best, if not the best, specifications and hi-fi functionality on the market today. This has been accomplished by months of development using top of the range audio testing equipment to fine tune and carefully select the most optimum design, layout and components. The specifications achieved speak for themselves. It is powered by the included AC adapter suitable for your region.

The DAC module is designed according to the same principles as the award EHP-O2 portable headphone amplifier and sports equally stunning performance.

This high end DAC is based on the TE7022L UAC1 engine and ES9023 24 bit DAC chip. It supports 16 bit and 24 bit at sample rates of 44.1kHz, 48kHz and 96kHz. The on-board filtered power supply ensures that noise is practically non-existent. The DAC is not clocked by the USB port/computer, instead using a high quality on board crystal controlled oscillator which further improves overall performance. The input signal and power is supplied via the USB input on the rear of the unit.

I am always open to suggestions and if this works out ok and we start growing this product range I will look into it.

I am sure Graham Slee is up to scratch whether They would be open to us stocking their products is another issue that I will tackle at a later date.

Nice to see things moving on ocuk :) integration as a one stop area is a key I think as the pc market shifts. And pc audio is a huge potential market. I don't buy cd's much atm these days as don't have a dedicated player . But will be getting one inside the next 12 months. But the dac/ amp would be main concern if looking to build to a nice unit.

Audio has lots of potential I think time is up for many of these scruffy peripheral brands.

We are seeing well built mechanical keyboards with no frills at all out selling brand names. There is no reason why this shouldn't be the case with audio. The audio world just has to accept us :)

hopefully i can get Epiphany some coverage and make some sales and other vendors may want to do business.

I researched headphone DAC's thoroughly last year finally choosing the E-Dac as best for price and performance due to the ESS chip which I'm fond of from the Benchmark and M-DAC and could not be happier. Great to see OCUK stocking them.

It's better but the improvements won't be "in your face" obvious, it will be subtle improvements to sound stage, clarity, etc. I use an Asus STX (very good DAC) and an Aune T1 (also a very good DAC) and the differences are very subtle but they are there, so I now use the T1 for listening to music through my headphones and the STX for gaming and movies.

Do you reckon it would be possible for you to start stocking Schiit Audio gear?

They only have one UK Reseller currently but they seem to be low on stock a lot. Just a suggestion.
