We designed The Element to enjoy our headphones without compromise. Its amplifier renders shocking power, driven by an ultra clean DAC, all housed in a precision machined chassis with a comfortable knob. The Element beautifully drives headphones of all technologies and sizes.

Love the look of this. This sitting under you monitor would be an awesome, simple work/desktop set up.

I know there was recently a new ODAC chip made, and JDS deals with those quite a bit. Does this have that same chip in it PLUS an amp?

Yes, Element uses an identical DAC chipset to the new ODAC RevB.

Looks very cool, but after investing some $ in some dsd and 24/192 files, I probably wouldn't go with a usb 1 only device. Thank god. My wallet just breathed a sigh of relief.

What have you heard it with so far? What sort of sound signature does the amp section seem to have?

Wondering why the PCM5102A and not the senior PCM DACs...

 

[Fidelity King]

You guys should lend out review units like RHA did

I'm with Casper. One of the best looking DACs or amps in a long time, not to mention a combo unit.
