I suppose it'll be ok, but you can get better measuring gear than that for similar price. Just look at the master SINAD graph.I keep checking JDS labs to see if the Atom is in stock yet. Would the Modi 3 be a good match for this amp?

I'm not seeing anything that's better for around the same price point on his chart. Which one am I missing?I suppose it'll be ok, but you can get better measuring gear than that for similar price. Just look at the master SINAD graph.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have toslink which is what I'll be connecting it to my system with. Otherwise that looks really nice.

Edit.
Can I use one of those optical cable to mini spdif connector adapters?
This is connecting to my TV's optical out. I'm using this mainly for gaming and movies, and occasionally hooking up to my laptop for music.Can’t you do spdif over coax?

Edit AGAIN. Sorry, I was a bit lost on the spdif thing as I'm new. Apparently I would need another converter. Apologies if I ask dumb questions!
I should have said via an inline adapter (i.e. Source -> Toslink -> Adapter -> Coaxial -> DAC), rather than just comparing outputs, but I imagine your answer is the same in either case.No. I have one of those to test just to be sure they don't screw it up!
This is why I left head-fi.org - real measurements and objective appreciation for engineering. Man... 99$ ??? My respect to JDS Labs for their engineering.
Yup. We truly are in the golden age of audio. Great and cheap! As for headfi... I lurked around there for a while and yeah, not somewhere I really wanna be. Too much audiophile BS and unhinged people taking things waaaay too seriously. It just wasn't fun and honestly as someone who is relatively new and is just really getting into audio over maybe the last few years it kinda turned me off to the whole thing.
The reason I signed up here is because everyone seems kinda chilled out and has actual science and measurements to back up their opinions, not just saying stuff like "well, the DAC had a lot of glare and doesn't resolve enough" or something like that. Kinda reminds me of those overly pretentious wine critics
I do appreciate rigorosity
Basically, group buys? What is it that you need help with?Guys I looked around the forums but couldn't find a thread where we Request/want to buy stuff with the help of other members.
Excuse me if I didn't see it , could you give me the link? I desperately want my hands on this little beast.
