  Any guessing on the price? $399 is my guess. 

 
Fair pricing, but still steep competition at this price range, top off my head, the Schiit M&M Uber.

$199 or $219. Is that too optimistic?

I wish I could see this lower, but the odac and O2 combo are $289.

You're right but will it be better that O2+ODAC? I'm not sure.
 
But after ODAC Rev.b, it seems JDS want to do their own products and Element can be the first attempt for this. So, yes, it can be more than $300.

I won't be surprised if it's better than the O2+ODAC and that's coming from a current user of that combo.
 
I found the 1st Gen Schiit M&M to already be better than the O2+ODAC but it's ultimately down to user preferences. 
 
I have JDS Lab's C5D which proved to me that they have the chops to design great sounding DACs and amps, so I have no doubt the Element will be another amazing piece of gear.
 
PS: BTW it's June! Where's the big reveal?!

Considering who that is, you might be the embarrassed dork.

I think he knows who that is, that's exactly his point
