DavidLSU84, I have a Don Sachs running into a stereo Odyssey Kismet. Beware the Don Sachs produces hum in the Odyssey. I've posts from others with this combination with the same issue. The Odyssey runs at a relatively high level of gain - 30 or 32 dB if I recall. So, it amplifies everything it receives quite a lot.
You may not have any issue with this combination if you have lower sensitivity speakers. But if you have higher sensitivity speakers (i.e. 95dB or above) it could cause you problems with the Don Sachs and Odyssey combo - especially if you don't have the gain attenuators in the latest Don Sachs iterations. I have an older version of the Don Sachs that still has the gain attenuators, so I can adjust the gain and get to a good spot where the hum is pretty quiet and not a real problem. But if I didn't have those attenuators, I would have relatively loud hum easily audible at idle.
The other problem with the high gain of the Odyssey in combo with Don Sachs w/out gain controls and high sensitivity speakers is that you will have very little volume control customizability. If I set my Don Sachs to full gain, the sound is already somewhat loud at the very first volume setting. This combination would prevent me from listening at quieter levels at night after my toddler has gone to bed. So, for me (with Zu speakers in the upper 90's dB sensitivity), the gain control on the Don Sachs is the only way the combo works with Odyssey.
That said, if you can get the right combination of gain and speaker sensitivity for your listening environment, the combination does sound really good.
