ATOM Dac Coming very soon!

[PolkFan]

Just emailed JDS labs 2min ago and they replied back talk about the best customer service in the world


Can't wait for the Atom DAC as i plan on buying both it and the ATOM AMP as a upgrade to my current but dated objective 2+ODAC Rev B combo.

wait but if they make a new dac wouldn't it be called O-something dac because their previous dacs all started with O (ol dac&odac)

 

[DuxServit]

Very interesting and timely.

What's the timeline for availability of the new Atom DAC ?

(Is there anyone from JDS Labs on ASR?)

In the Atom Amp review they contacted Amirm and gave him a Amp to review

Ol-Dac is kind of below the rest and needs a update it was still recommended but i wouldn't get it over the E30 or the ahhhhhhhhhhh hate saying this but even the Modi 3 which measures better.

I'll be holding out to then mainly "upgrading to upgrade" probably won't even notice anything

JDS labs actually makes parts based on measurements and objectivity their the ones that helped jump NwAvGuy objective 2+Odac

Back before then we all heard paying 2000$ for a DAC was worth it lol in terms of sound quality and a bunch of other nonsense. Plus JDS labs have the best customer service that i ever dealt with.

Agreed. The products and service are first rate.

Was looking forward to it when Atom just came out. But now, EL DAC isn't even that good, is the ATOM DAC going to be better still?

 

[Asylum Seeker]

Desktop? Non-mobile? Not interested.

 

[Doodski]

Looking forward to seeing the new DAC tested here at ASR.

I'm confident that they will hand it over to Amirm probably before release even unless something gets all mixed up with this virus.

Huge fan of NwAvGuy and the open source design. Also fan of JDS Labs. I’ve bought a couple of the v1 ODAC, the O2, the combo and even bought the Mayflower version of ODAC.

They already announced it was coming since January

We knew that but it seems they are extremely close to coming out probably as soon as this virus is over with or at least the stay at home orders

We knew it was coming, we knew it is delayed and we know that in the current COVID situation, manufacturing is seeing issues and delays. So I don't really think this deserves yet another 'Atom DAC' thread.
It was said to be coming "soon" sinds beginning of the year. "soon" will take another while. I don't see this releasing on short notice. This COVID thing can take a while for things to return to normal.

The market is in great need of a new DAC that measures roughly the same as the other 50+ DACs already on the market, so excited.

Does XLR-outputs add much to the cost of a DAC?

Would be nice of Atom DAC provided XLR.
