The Deskhero Experience

Simplified Audio, Reimagined

We’ve reimagined our flagship amp+DAC to create a listening experience you will notice and appreciate. Element IV operates on our third-generation XMOS hardware and firmware, blissfully integrated with our latest discrete optical encoder. You’ll hear perfect channel balance down to the black noise floor. Automatic gain helps you focus on listening rather than button pressing, and an auto-vanishing display presents the essentials while you toggle between USB and Optical inputs and headphone or preamp outputs. Element IV's all new Core™ web app allows you to intuitively tweak 10-band EQ profiles and more. Element IV is designed and built in the USA.

USB TYPE C

Atom DAC 2's native USB Type C input receives up to 32/384kHz PCM over a custom XMOS based UAC2 engine with ASIO and DSD support. UAC1 mode for PS5 or Nintendo Switch is activated when using aUAC1 Fallback Cable.

DIFFERENTIAL SUMMING I/V OUTPUT

Differential output of an ES9018K2M DAC is paired with our unique, DC coupled, precision tuned transimpedance stage utilizing three OPA1692s per channel, or six opamps in total.

METAL ENCLOSURE

Atom DAC 2 is built in an aluminum chassis. The anodized surface is also eligible for free, custom engraving. Add text or artwork as you please in the shopping cart.

AUTO STANDBY

Atom DAC 2 automatically enters standby after 5 minutes of USB inactivity, powering down its light ring, and resumes from standby silently and instantly. We've also retooled Atom DAC 2's light ring, which is now bolted to the aluminum chassis for ruggedness.

MORE EFFICIENT

Atom DAC 2 is powered by a perfected supply network, with an external AC transformer and 10 regulators ensuring consistent rail voltage and super low ripple. Atom DAC 2 is also more efficient than Atom DAC+, saving power and running 10°F cooler.

UPGRADEABLE FIRMWARE

Atom DAC 2's XMOS based firmware configures and manages all functionality, with DFU support for future updates.

MEMS OSCILLATOR

Atom DAC 2 is clocked by 45/49MHz MEMS oscillators with ±25ppm frequency stability, delivering minimal jitter.

NO MORE ROCKER SWITCH!

Yes, Atom DAC 2 has a proper power switch! No need for the Rocker Switch bundled with Atom DAC(+).
