jds atom

So I'm looking at a pair of headphones (maybe the Ananda Nano's) as well as a set of passive speakers for nearfield listening at a desktop setup (KEF Q150's). So far I've considered the Topping E30 II/L30 II Stack, JDS Atom 2 Stack, and Schiit Modi/Magni Stack. But then I came across the SMSL...

Been using a pair of Sennheiser HD560S for a bit over a year now, they sound good but I think I'm ready to upgrade. So far I've narrowed down my options to these (lowest to highest $): - Verum One MKII - $350 - HiFiman Edition XS - $380 - Audeze MM-100 - $400 - HiFiman Ananda Stealth - $400 -...

Currently I'm looking at getting a new audio interface and amp (if needed) to pair with Aeon RTs. I've kind of narrowed it down to the Motu M4 and an Atom+, but I was wondering if I actually would need the Atom+ or if there would be other similar alternatives. If I do end up with the M4 and...

Hi Folks I recently purchased a JDS Atom amp Headphone and I already have two DACs. 1- Meridian Explorer DAC v1 2- Topping D10s In my little experience and after some testing I found that Meridian sounded better than Topping. I'm using Meridian's fixed output which provides 2v rms (it is a...

I stumbled on a channel named "Wheezy Reviews" and watched his review on the JDS Atom Amp/DAC stack, and his comments about how the stack sounds seem to align with how the majority of ASR members evaluate DACs and Amps. With all of the absurd hype and bs subjectivism on YouTube, this is a...

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and first of all I would like to thank Amirm and all forum members for the many measurements and discussions I have read in the last 3-4 weeks since I got to know the forum. I came to the forum because I am just saying goodbye to my hifi system and switching...

Hello, I just ordered my first pair of real headphones and now I need a Dac and Amp or a dac/amp combo for them. I currently have a bad 25€ amp/dac from amazon for my Sennheiser Momentum. Ideally my budget would be 200€, I spent 160€ for the headphones, I don't really want to spend way more for...

Hi guys, First time poster... Looking for some advice about a headphone stack. I've been reading a LOT the last few days but I could do with some guidance and appreciate whatever help you can give :) I have bought a pair of Focal Elears at a good price and I am looking for a dac (and possibly...

I'm sort of torn between the two. I've read both reviews and still unsure From what I've gathered so far looking around is that no one can hear a difference between the two?? The only thing I've heard mainly is that the Heresy has more power but only slightly? ____ heresy Newer Release...

Hello community, my listening setup has drastically changed over the last month and i need advice to tune it: Before: PC-> Focusrite Solo Gen2 - > M-Audio BX8 / Shure SE425 Now: PC->Fiio K3 ->JBL 104 BT / -> sonarworks ref 4 ->JDS Atom (incoming) -> HifiMan HE400i / Shure SE425 my reason was...

I'm not sure if i should be concerned about it, but everywhere i looked i only found people saying that the JDS Labs Atom cannot power passive speakers because the RCA outputs are only for data. Well, i doesn't seem to be the case for me. I just tried plugging into my Atom (yes, only through...

Hi! After reading pages and pages of posts I decided my doubts required a dedicated post so not to muddle other topics. I am preparing a small home studio with no studio monitors (first because it would bother my family and second because I'm buying my new equipment during a short trip to the...

Hello everyone! Iam thinking about a nice DAC/amp combination to pair with my incoming 58xx and I am struggling between these two options (considering money): Topping dx3 pro (First version!) - used for 6 months - 150€ Topping D10 + JDS Labs Atom - new - 230€ (80 + 150) I really like the...

Over the past year I've been collecting equipment for a most excellent home listening experience :cool: Currently I have the following kit: - JDS Labs Atom Amp. - SMSL SU-8 DAC - Massdrop THX AAA 789 Amp (unopened) - Senheiser HD 58x (stock cable) - DIY interconnect RCA cables (Connectronics...

It has been a stressful two weeks trying to find a good amp/dac for my first desktop setup. I've been using a Fiio A3 and X3 Gen 2 for a while with my HD6XX, and wanted to go desktop since I barely listen on the go anymore. The past 2 weeks I've cycled through many options for around the...

Will my Sennheiser HD600 sound better with the Topping D10+JDS Atom than with the RME Babyface Pro? I ask specifically about my headphones, not about some super-hard-to-drive planar-magnetic ones. And while I am already asking - will they sound even better with the THX 789+some dac? Story: I...

Hello, I'm new here, although I've been lurking and reading the reviews for a few weeks now. I hope this is the right place to post this question, I saw other posts asking for recommendations, etc, so I thought this was as good a forum as any to ask. My question relates to the power...

I have the Geshelli Pro Amp along with ENOG2 DAC. Also have the JDS Atom. I know that JDS Atom has received much praise in the forum, but when I compared it against Geshelli, I find Atom to be inferior. Though, looking at charts/graphs from Amir, that should not be the case. Headphones I...

So, my JDS Atom has a veryyyy noisy pot. Rotating it causes quite a bit of noise. Given that it is an analog pot (I believe), do you think I shouldn't worry too much or get and RMA ? Has anyone else faced this on the Atom yet ?
