Have been using my Element III mk2 for a couple months now and am still absolutely enamoured with it.

Michael

Got the Atom DAC 2 and it feels amazing compared to my OG Amp which flexes and creaks like a toy.

James

I just received my atom 2 stack and I had to drop you a line to say this is just absolutely mental! The quality of this little stack is just beyond anything I was expecting. Just perfectly clean balanced sound. Thank you so much for developing th…

@KeithTurner492

My headphone set up is finally complete! @jdslabs @Audeze

@joshrogosin (NPR Tiny Desk Producer)

Great gear alert 🚨. No more hiss with my new O2 headphone amp from @jdslabs. #tinydesk concerts never sounded so good 🤩 🎧 🎶

@gadgetman007

"Picked up an O2 + ODAC. Cool engraving by @jdslabs."

Tae

Just wanted to thank the team! The Element III pairs beautifully with the Focal Clears.

Daniel

The Element III MK2 arrived today, and it is amazing. I can’t believe how much of a difference it makes, even on my normal audio hardware. I now feel stupid for ever buying that creative soundcard, if so much better things exist. Thx again …

Dan M.

My new custom Objective 2 is truly my new secret weapon for mixing university assignments. Sounds amazing with my 2i4 and K702 headphones. Thanks guys! :)

Jeanette Y.

Very good customer service. Absolutely recommend this shop for high quality audiophile equipment. No matter where in the world you are, these guys will take great care of you.

@Autophase

A great sounding combination @TIDAL masters as source, through a @jdslabs #ODAC into @YamahaUK AX392 and finally out of my @TannoyHiFi DC6T Digital really is stunning when done properly

Jesse

Hey guys, I finally pulled the trigger on an element 3 and I've gotta say, I absolutely love it. The monolithic knob is exactly what I wanted sitting on my desk.

@poa_nyc

Candy Tin. Amp tin. @jdslabs

Roy

I got them! And I gotta say I’m VERY impressed! The Element III would be my first serious audiophile equipment and I LOVE IT! It absolutely brought my headphones to life and the bass gain DOES help with the HD800s! It’s now clear and …

Trinia

Just a short note to say that I got the Atom and I’ve never heard my HD600 sing like this before! Sounds amazing! I’m now a fan of JDS Labs for life.

Christian

I’m loving the III. Picked up some Edition XS cans and the pairing is perfect.

@JTCPingas

OL Switcher preamp is super useful. I got one for easy volume control for my new speakers, which I love! Headphones will always have a place in my heart, and the EL AMP+EL DAC are the sexiest pieces of audio gear I've ever seen! Clean, neutra…

Ryan

I can't say enough good things about the Atom amp.
Putting other brands with overpriced marketing hype aside, the Atom is audibly flawless.
You want to hear instruments, mics and speakers / headphones. Not sure why people want t…

Tomer G.

New toy: JDS Labs, Inc. El DAC. Initial impression is remarkably neutral sound along with remarkable resolution and detail

Stephen A.

My listening setup I am very happy with the sound. JDS Labs makes exceptional products!

Loki C.

I love so much your Objective2!! A masterpiece!

Paul

Very pleased. Wondering why it took me so long, lol. Hearing nuance and details I hadn’t heard before.

I’d recommend your gear to everyone.

hazemac

The OL DAC is a remarkable upgrade for me. More transparent. Clean. Real. Even without an amp change. Well done, JDS. Thank you.

@AustinBlairRace

Thanks for having me today, @jdslabs ! Great to see a local company thriving and continuing to make top notch products right here in Collinsville, IL 👍

@0x

The Element, by @jdslabs

Steve L.

I'm blown away by the sound quality of the JDS Element with the Massdrop AKG K7XX. Smooth and effortless reproduction of all the frequencies with tons of power on tap. Killer amp and DAC! Great job JDS Labs!

Jazmanaut

Just great customer service and no nonsense products, just pure performance!

Haris J.

People always talk about how good some company is [*Insert your fav company here*] but I am here to tell you that JDS Labs just doesn't make great products they also provide you with Amazing customer service that I have not experienced anywhe…

Daniel W.

Just received my objective 2. Everything from packaging. Weight. Material and most of all the audio quality is 10/10. Even was caught off by the esd bag it was contained in. I'll be back for any possible audio needs

Tim M.

JDS does their job well without resorting to Hyperbole to move product out the door. Glad my research led me to this small company with reasonable pricing, solid products.

Andrew

The Element III MK2 is such a well designed and executed DAC/AMP combo. The look, feel and function surpassed all of my expectations. Power is abundant and sound processing is clean and accurate. This thing powers my HD650's to ear shattering…

@adacnin

"@jdslabs thank you for making the element my favorite amp dac combo ever"

Josh F.

"Arrived this morning.. Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Solid build. Solid sound. Cheers JDS Labs!"

@DrJorts

Bought some new audio gear from @jdslabs and def took advantage of their free custom engraving

Steve N.

Love the Objective 2 - awesome little amp!

Bolt V.

My Objective 2 works great, and looks good to. Dropped some coin on a nice little Topping rack for it on Amazon. Thanks so much again JDS! I'm getting a lot of compliments on the sound and look of the amp

@Nathan

Just wanted to say my El Dac 2 and El Amp 2 have been 100% awesome. I have used them every day for the last two years.

I use them primarily with ZMF Aeolus or DCA Aeon Closed. Sometimes I use my IEMs like Variations on low gain set…

@NarptGaming

My new Sennheiser 6XX's next to the also new Element by @jdslabs

Ryan

Wow. That’s all I can say with what I’ve heard so far today. My orrder got here in 48 hours and it sounds fantastic. You run an impressive operation. Thanks again, I’ll be singing your praises to everyone I know.

Daniel L.

Purchased a couple devices from JDS. They are absolutely exemplary in quality. I purchased an Element from them a couple years ago and I've encountered zero reason to purchase another DAC/AMP.

@Dmitry49

LOVE the copper ring around the volume knob. The Element by @jdslabs is my new desktop DAC.

ScarisRacer

I'm absolutely loving my new OL DAC and Atom Amp from @jdslabs. Smooth low end, solid mid range and crisp highs. 100% Worth the wait!

Stephen

I just wanted to let you know how much I love my Element 3. I use it with a the Audeze LCD-X (2021) and a Tascam CD-500B cd player through S/PDIF.

The Element 3 ‘wowed' me with its soundstage right from the first li…

Cristofer

I gotta say the Element 3 definitely flipped my views on audio on it's head!

It's a magnificent product and never thought I would hear a true difference between Element 3 and... well... pretty much everything else I own! It make…

Adam N.

"Enjoying The Element with my Ether Cs!"

Pedro V.

Received today the O2 kit, assembled in some time, and, wow, wow, wow!

@skotterbutt

"Man, @jdslabs has a fast shipping department."

@JTCPingas

Huge shout-out to @jdslabs for early shipping on the Atom amp! I'm already in love with this thing! Thanks so much guys!

@MarcoMHanna

Big knob. Big power. Okay, I’ve been a noob my entire life with audio until today. These are powering my HD 700’s and it feels like I’ve experienced music for the first time. @jdslabs you guys make some killer stuff!

@M_Shenay

my new OL Switcher is a Live safer! If you've ever even considered grabbing a switching pre-amp, trust me the sooner you grab one the better!

Joao A.

My new cMoyBB head amp just arrived! Looks great and sounds even better!

@kelko

Kudos to @jdslabs - not only are their products breathtakingly good. Their customer service and support is equally awesome. Thanks for all the help ðŸ™

Dunring

Just got one of these the other day, have two of the original stacks but it's the first + version. Wow, on the Beyerdynamic T90 they sound exceptional, just tons of power in low gain for 250 ohm stuff.

@asaph

Hey @jdslabs The Element sounds ethereal and looks badass with my avatar engraved on the knob. Thanks! #audiophile #headphones

@ddx_ow

I made it to the end-game. And boy does that sure sound nice. @UltimateEarsPro @jdslabs

Shayne

This DAC & amp combo is excellent. I am overjoyed with the quality of the audio and how clear the signal is. Not even a hint of static, which I tend to be quite sensitive towards, often hearing what others are oblivious to.

I won…

David

Just wanted to let you know that I'm so, so, so happy with the Element III Mk2 I bought.

@pramodnundlall

Enjoying my stack!!! @jdslabs

Isaac

I just wanted to say this is my first stack [Atom HEVI] and it is absolutely incredible!! I wanted to thank you all for the amazing work you do because these are truly incredible products! Keep up the great work

Jeong

ELEMENT III was originally a luxurious product both in visual and sound, but the newly changed ELEMENT III's knob [MK2] feels really gorgeous. I'm very happy to be able to spend a lot of time with this wonderful device.

@iamkdh92

O2+ODAC soldered up and sounding fantastic. Was curious how well the enclosure engraving would turn out with the gradient... @jdslabs freakin' killed it! Looks and sounds clean as hell!

Travis

Got the EL AMP II+ last night and am having difficulty stopping my feet tapping! Thanks to you and your team John.

Oz M.

The El stack just arrive today, making the Elear sounding more transparent, love it.

Greg A.

I use the OL DAC with my surface laptop and my emotiva bas x a100 and polkaudio s15 and Dayton Sub 800. I really like the OL DAL it work really well with my system

Ryan L.

Hi, recently purchased The Element, must say that it is the best DAC/AMP that I've used in it's price range, in my eyes (ears) it surpasses even DAC/AMPs double it's price. Love the product, support was great, keep up the great work g…

@thwk_

From one diy project to another one... 🤓😎 Thanks @TheMagP1 & @jdslabs #O2Amp #ODAC #AIYProjects

@Paul

Element 3 is installed and what can I say. What an upgrade. The screen is so useful and I absolutely love the volume control increments. It just feels so satisfying to change the volume now!

Aaron

Have had my Element III for about 5 months, and I f******' love it.

Paul Z.

I've finally reached my endgame in terms audio quality :) Sennheiser HD6XX and OBJECTIVE2+ODAC is audiophilia at its finest ^_^

@elijah_io

"Thanks again, @JDSLabs for the amazing O2 headphone amplifier. Very impressed; eyeing your OL DAC now."

Trevor

Just want to say I am SUPER happy with my new Atom DAC 2 and Atom Amp 2. I've never owned a DAC or a headphone amp before. Totally blown away at the sound quality coming out of my speakers and headphones. Also great results pre-amping my Mara…

Andy L.

Love my JDS setup!

Sam J.

Just wanted to commend the excellent customer service; I emailed the DIY section with a query regarding my failed O2 amp and I thought the "we respond fast" header would get me a response in 24-48 hours, I was shocked to receive a respo…

@the_mckern

New JDS Labs Element arrived today. Just gonna hang out in my office with headphones all night.

@bmwilson14

I have had A LOT of audio equipment over the course of my life, but man my @jdslabs element is my favorite. (paired with @Audeze LCD-2's)

Valentas N.

"ODAC REV B - is the best DAC (small size) in the market i ever tested, bullet proof design, very reliable, tested on PC/Mac literal plug-and-go."

Michelle G.

Excited to build my cMoyBB!

Aaron

I'm not sure if this is the right place to send this e-mail, but I just wanted to say that I ended up choosing your Element III as my very first AMP/DAC, and I couldn't have been happier. I'm newish getting into the high quality audio…

Mark J.

"Just got my ODAC, sounds great, this unit is exactly what I needed and what I wanted."

Cameron

The element 3 sounds amazing on my PC, and oh my gosh, have you absolutely crushed it with this product!

Ondrej K.

Greetings from the Czech Republic!

Marlyece B.

"Just got my first amp. O2. Great, sturdy little powerhouse. It really opens the soundstage and makes audio fuller with my AKG 700s. I had mine customized as well. Great way to make your amp yours!"

Ryan L.

"Hi, recently purchased The Element, must say that it is the best DAC/AMP that I've used in it's price range, in my eyes (ears) it surpasses even DAC/AMPs double it's price."
