Pretty sure you'll be okay... I had to buy an adaptor for my CGA fitting. I'd give AoA a call tomorrow to confirm.

Looks like your tank has the DIN and 1/8 quick connect capabilities... if that's the case, you're set.

Here's the compressor fill hose (red). The din adaptor that I bought from JoeB was too short (as seen in the pic).
I picked up two long din adaptors from PA as AoA didn't carry them. pic 2
However, I think your set with the Omega tank... but I'd call AoA to just to make sure.

When I bought mine, AoA tested it first before sending it out. That was 2 or 3 days of delay.
Also, check your junk mail to see if the tracking number is in there ... mine came from UPS and so did the tracking notification e-mail. Sign-up for UPS quantum to receive updates.

I live in Massachusetts..I think it's a state with a lot of humidity, I'm going to add a filter..

Yes, it needs an output filter. That's one of the omissions that Daystate/Coltri made in order to sell the LC110 at a lower price point. The moisture separator bleed tower does remove much of the moisture but the higher end 220V model Daystate/Coltri's include a filter tower to remove any residual moisture.
I already own a Carette compressor which I am very satisfied with and has performed flawlessly. Had this Daystate/Coltri been available when I was in the market I would have opted for it and added a gold filter to it. I do wish that AofA would specify that Daystate terminate the fill hose with a tank owner friendly Foster quick disconnect instead of the DIN 300 fitting. The fill hose requires most owners to purchase pricey adapters which AoFA doesn't sell. If I owned the Daystate LC110 I would replace the entire fill hose assembly with one terminating in a Foster quick disconnect instead of buying expensive adapters. The fill hose probably connects to the compressor using a JIC fitting so a hydraulic supply store could make up a replacement fill hose at a lower cost than the accessory adapters cost. Small quibble but otherwise a great compressor for the money.
Eddy1840, here is the best value in output filters that I've found. It is a gold Tuxing filter with a factory desiccant cartridge. It is only $76 shipped on Aliexpress and it is sold and shipped by Tuxing from California. I don't like the configuration of the cartridge including clear desiccant. You can order one with only tan zeolite beads but it is only if you get the filter and cartridge shipped from China. That's really not that big of a deal as it only adds about an extra week to the shipping time. I ordered the one shipped from California as these cartridge options weren't available when I ordered one. Here's a photo of my filter. I removed the clear beads which are silica and don't change color when moist. They are a waste of cartridge space. This $76 Tuxing includes the repackable cartridge and includes extra bottles of carbon, zeolite, and clear silica. I'd toss out the clear silica. Here's the link:

Here's a photo of the Tuxing with the cartridge configured for my compressor. The clear silica was removed and I added blue silica seeded into the zeolite as indicator beads. I've never had oil smell problems so next time I'll probably use all zeolite and leave out the carbon section. It's easy to unscrew the endcap on the tuxing filter to replace or recharge the desiccant.

Thanks to @humdinger, here's the link to the zeolite beads - https://www.ebay.com/itm/3-lbs-Molecular-Zeolite-Beads-Type-13X/312090493908?epid=862892059&hash=item48aa0b03d4:g:w4gAAOSwo6lWFpeY
I filled 3 empty 88cu ft tanks and topped off ~6 or 8 times... no signs of moisture in my beads, yet.

Hello-
That would really upset me, had I ordered one. I suspect AOA will make it right. Let's hope you do not have to ship it back, for repair. The wait will not be fun, though, seeing as how you waited 14 days to get it.
Kind regards,
