It's a tad bigger than the O2's.  I don't have a ruler on me right now but I can try to get its dimensions later.

I put the review up on head-fi.  Even after some more songs, I couldn't really tell any noticeable differences that are worth-while considering one over the other at this price range.  Maybe very subtle differences are worth considering if one's spending 2000 on an amp, but this is only 200 on an amp/dac combo.

I'm curious about the size so I can get an idea of how many outlets it will block on a typical power strip.  Big wall warts can be inconvenient.  I haven't seen any pictures or other info about the wall wart to know if it's big and heavy or not.

I'm almost certainly going to get the M&M stack.  I need a smallish and powerful amp that can drive a T50RP and won't get hot enough to fry an egg.  A smallish USB DAC that doesn't need custom drivers will also be very handy and actually very needed at the moment.  I don't know why I haven't already ordered it?

It will take up two spots on your average power strip, I put it at the end of mine.

I'm pretty sure that something like this https://www.elfa.se/elfa3~eu_en/elfa/init.do?item=56-383-33&toc=0&q=56-383-33 would do the trick. You just have to make sure that you find the right connector.

Heck, it wouldn't be too hard to just encase a 15VAC transformer and wire it to the amp.

If the HD800 counts, that's info is in the A/B comparo.  Though the 800 and 650 produce different effects w/ poor 'synergy' and the 800 is easier to push typically IME.
