    JDS Labs atom amp+ low vs high gain

    What I mean is low gain & volume knob in higher position vs high gain & volume knob in lower position. So, I've seen many discussions already, but there's no uniform consensus between users. So, I checked with producer and they have pretty definitive answer for this question. Can I consider this...

    Is the dragonfly red DAC superior to the jds labs atom DAC ?

    Hi, today I receive my jds labs atom DAC + AMP and after a lot of back and forth between the jds labs atom stack and my dragonfly red with audirvana (tidal) I found that the dragonfly red is the clear winner. The soundstage of the dragonfly red is way better and the amount of detail too...

    Geshelli labs archel pro vs jds labs atom

    This is pretty much an offshoot of my previous thread but I was hoping a dedicated thread to this would get me more direct comparisons between the archel and atom. Let me know if I am breaking head-fi posting etiquette, I am not very experienced in that. I have pretty much narrowed my choices...

    $600 amp/dac

    Looking a for a max $600 amp/dac combo with preferably small footprint. SE, balance isn't necessary, budget can go up a little if needed. Trying to downsize my current setup. Headphones would include dt1990 hd800 (might sell) and honestly trying to downsize in general. Wouldn't mind going back...

    JDS Labs EL Amp impressions

    I thought I would start this thread because I could not find one that dealt specifically with the amp only version of JDS Labs' Element. My impressions of this amp are as follows. The amp is very neutral and balanced. It is also extremely quiet as well, since you can crank the volume all the...

    Amp + DAC to match AKG k702 headphones

    So I got myself a pair of akg k702's and I'm looking for an amp/dac - either a combo unit or seperates to match it. These headphones sound amazing as they are but I want them to sound as best as they can! Out of the box they felt a bit tinny but after a day or 2 they either got better, or maybe...

    JDS Labs EL / OL DAC Owners (AK4490EQ DAC's with filter switch)

    It seems these are heavily underappreciated DAC's, I own both. These are 2 pieces of equipment I bought straight after reviewing, the OL DAC is used for my main computer setup, and the EL DAC as the DAC for my Hifi system. I have soldered the DIP switches to my OL DAC, and have another DIP...
