Sounds just defective ...I just received my Atom DAC+?
abs no longer seem
"Immediately getting a headache" is pretty anecdotal and even coincidental though. I could say that about any device on a bad day and it would not really mean anything.
Just registered there to comment about amazing customer service.
Ordered atom amp, and after few days also ordered atom dac for my verum mk2 and dt990 600ohm.
JDS answered all my questions, they also combined my package,and all that was blazing fast. Definitelly will advice them to my friends.
I'm pretty amazed about that kind of service. JDS - you made my day.
N.B. i've ordered atom dac , and they sent me dac+ with no additional fee.
PS. WIll be pretty intresting to use 8ohm headphones with 600 ohm ones, heh
This looks great! How would it compare to the Hidizs S9 pro (ES9038Q2M)?
Thank you! I'll probably go with the Atom since the optical input could prove handy later on. Also it won't drain my battery as much as the dongle.Both are so accurate that they are easily arguable to be noise and distortion-free within the range of human hearing. So they would sound the same.
Don't see why not. This is the DAC thread though I'm sure you mean the ampDo you guys think atom+ would match with Verum mk2's 8ohm load?
oh crap, I ruined my very first question on this forumDon't see why not. This is the DAC thread though I'm sure you mean the amp
I'm considering both atom + dac amp stack, puzzled to get that or topping l30,e30 stack.
Keep in mind that the distortion figures should be even better in the low gain mode at the same output level compared to the high gain mode. Obviously, the Atom Amp will not go past 2V in low gain if it is being fed by the Atom DAC, but it is very likely that it will be more than loud enough.Both should be fine, I would say get whatever is easiest to acquire for your country. The Atom+ has this graph
Which shows for 8 ohm headphones you would get (almost) 2Vrms undistorted, more if you allow some distortion to set in. That should make the Verums go very loud, indeed, although you might need to set it to high gain mode. Therefore I believe the Atom stack would work fine in any case.. this graph is not available for L30 but I think it would perform similarly.
wow, thanks for the help with the explaining this graph. I think 2V is way more than enough based on Verum site infoBoth should be fine, I would say get whatever is easiest to acquire for your country. The Atom+ has this graph

What amp are you using with the Atom DAC+?Plot twist, I changed from listening music from my iPhone to listening from a late 2021 iMac. I received the Atom DAC+ today. I don't have any equipment to do objective measuring, but it does sound subjectively better to me than using the internal DAC via the lineout. Placebo effect or not (I'm told the iMac internal DACS are also top-notch,) I'm quite happy with my purchase.
I am plugging the Atom DAC+ directly to a pair of powered speakers (Kanto iPair5) . No amp necessary in my case.What amp are you using with the Atom DAC+?
Internal clock still ; no.Does Atom DAC+ uses internal clock or source clock when using with Spotify on windows?
I've installed XMOS drivers but Spotify doesn't allow any ASIO/WASAPI:Exclusive or Event settings, does this affect the dac timing/clock?
