We redesigned Element II to maximize your desktop audio experience. Element II packs the performance you expect from JDS Labs into a precision machined aluminum chassis, with an equally impressive 32/384k DAC, and button activated preamp RCA outputs. Enjoy the comfortable knob and seamless transitions between your powered speakers and headphones!

 |
TOP PERFORMANCE
Element II is our most advanced amp+DAC to date, achieving top performance from its 4-layer, star grounded layout.
|
 |
DUAL GAIN
Low gain of 1.0x is well suited to driving efficient IEMs, while High gain easily powers demanding full size sets.
|
 |
RELAY MUTING
Designed for desktop listening, Element II's full relay muting eliminates pops and thumps during startup through both its headphone and preamp outputs.
|
 |
MEMS OSCILLATOR
Element II's USB DAC is clocked by an SiTime MEMS oscillator with ±10ppm frequency stability, delivering pristine jitter.
|
 |
USB AUDIO CLASS 2
Element II supports up to 32/384kHz PCM over a custom XMOS XU208 based UAC2 engine. While we claim no measurable superiority of high sampling rates, UAC2 and ASIO support satisfy your pursuit of bitperfect listening.
|
 |
AC TRANSFORMER
Element II's amplifier and DAC are 100% powered by its external AC transformer, with 12 regulators ensuring consistent rail voltage and super low ripple.
