O2 amp Australian parts GB

I am interested in the ODAC but don't see any point in a group buy as the price of the product is not going to be different for a group (I think) and I can't imagine shipping costs to be saved as shipping within Aus is so expensive.
Is there any benefit in keeping the ODAC out of the O2? Since it has no amplification it will always need to be connected to an amp right?
 
@hochopeper:
Would you (still?) be interested in taking charge of the ODA group buy later in the year after skipping the ODAC?

It would be nice to have someone competent heading the effort and you are one of several that have proven to be quite sensible throughout this whole mess.
 
So, the unthinkable happened today, and I got my O2 kit in the mail.
Looks like all the parts are there, but I'll have to check if the pot is the right kind. I'll start building it shortly, but might not finish until tomorrow. I already have a half-decent DAC (behringer UCA202) I can use, but the ODAC + O2 is an interesting option.

EDIT: Yep, looks like I also got a 3B (or 3A?) instead of a 15A. The marking on the pot itself is "10 3A", and it matches the description of the curve - mostly linear, but tapers at the ends.

I still have the last enclosure and 2 spare sets of batteries - one enclosure and PCB went to the other person who still hadn't got their kit (I don't think he was part of the GB proper). His kit is missing the comparator, but he's getting it sorted out.

I think I'll keep the enclosure and batteries instead of the $ that BlueFusion still owes me, so that settles that.
 
Serves me right for not checking my parcel earlier.
Turns out I have only 1 parts kit not 2. Got 4 batteries though.
Just in case it helps piece things together.

I've been burnt on every GB I've joined. Even 2 turntable bearing manufactures have gone awol with 300 pounds.
