It seems that the metal version of ATOM will appear in the situation of elamp2, and there is no significant improvement in performance. Little disappointment:)

Exquisite anodized shell with a small amount of performance optimization can still attract many buyers:D,Hope to release the test results of elamp2 first

Well, It's definitely attracting me! Even though I already have an Atom...
However, I'm particularly interested in the EL DAC II, as that seems to have some major performance improvements over the first generation.

Do you also have the Element 2 lined up for review?
I have all three units. Finished the DAC just now. Working on the Amp.

Now this is interesting, if they marry the superlative performance of the Atom and the excellent design and feel of the Element, sell it at the advertised price and include excellent JDS product support I am really struggling to think of a good reason to buy anything else. I am already planning to upgrade and have the Atom as a superior office amplifier for travelling at work.

If Amir gives the thumbs up on the Element II after measurement it will be mine.

I just wish they made some products with balanced output. Would gladly pay another hundred bucks (or more) for a balanced Element with a basic remote.
