JDS Labs ATOM Amp

[Spareribs]

Just got the amp. Sounds great! I paired it with the Schiit Modi 3 DAC and the combination is great. Thumbs up!

Still waiting for mine. JDS Labs didn't receive a shipment of parts and now there's an extra delay while they try to get more.

Don't worry don't worryyyyyy. Your Atom will be here soon!

Heck I ordered my Sinxger F-1 over a month ago and it's still scheduled another week till delivery! Ugh-face.

 

[Jmask5]

is it better to use 3.5mm to 3.5mm or 3.5mm to RCA?

connecting mojo to atom..

Did you end up connecting the mojo to the atom? Any difference vs straight out of mojo? Does it sound good?

Yes I did, big improvement to 650. More airy, much better resolution and stage

Anyone have any updated information on the shipment that has been delayed due to some parts getting lost?

I ordered March 6th, they said it would ship no later than the 14th, then this happened and they said they'd get back to us.
The last thing I heard was "We will update as soon as we know more" via email.
Their website says they're "shipping reservations late-March". I don't know if that's up to date or not.

I really shouldn't have paid extra for "expedited 3-day shipping".

I ordered mine on March 7th and I'm in the same boat as you. I got the update email on the 14th and figured they could receive another shipment of knobs in 2-3 days and resume shipping. Guess I was wrong.

From what I’ve seen on ASR, this trumps the magni 3. Any reasons to still buy the latter?

 

[bequietjk]

There isn't much to be said about the Magni 3 that I used with a D3. PC>Magni3>FiioD3. It was very sterile and shrill to my ears. For whatever reason I had to return as it was too much for me and some year later I picked up the Atom Amp. To my ears the Atom is much warmer, more fun and has great power. It would be nice to try a Magni 3 now with my Khadas Tone Board but tbh I haven't looked back.

*My 3 cents!

 

[fernandocuello]

The problem with the Khadas Tone Board is that it has the “ESS” hump. Haven’t experienced it myself, but it’s nothing positive.

 

[bequietjk]

To be honest I'm waiting for Geshelli Labs to come out with a version of the ENOG PRO without front panel ports. I had the ENOG 2 and it was JUICY. Problem is the coax, optical AND dc inputs are one side and on the back are the xlr/rca outs.

Oooo am I waiting for a revision...

maybe if you have a headphone which needs more power the magni may be more suitable

Well, the atom has more power!

my apologies, thought you were talking about the magni 3. not the original magni
