Element III runs on our second generation XMOS hardware and firmware, blissfully integrated with a custom 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. We’ve also added DSD support and real-time selection of DAC filters and more. Element III is precision machined in the USA with the same, famously awesome knob.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuto Gain\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWe regularly hear from customers fretting over when to use gain. Element III eliminates this confusion by automatically toggling gain for you at exactly the right volume level. As you turn the knob beyond 0 dB, high gain activates and volume is compensated for a near seamless transition to higher listening levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect Channel Balance\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eElement III delivers audibly perfect channel balance all the way down to -127.5 dBFS.

The Options menu further allows you to adjust OLED and backlighting LED behaviors, DAC filters, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExceptional Power \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElement III's rail-to-rail gain stage provides extra headroom and no distortion penalty when listening at high gain versus low gain. With +\/-15VDC rails and continuous max power of 1.3W, Element III drives all headphones on the market to extraordinary levels, from balanced armatures to planar magnetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreamp Outputs \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElement III provides preamp RCA outputs so that you can control volume of your powered speakers.

And for extra safety, Element III's dual, independent processors continuously monitor internal communications and verify volume of the ESS DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMEMS Oscillators \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElement III is clocked by MEMS oscillators for excellent frequency stability, delivering pristine jitter in both USB and Optical modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSB Audio Class 2 - PCM \u0026amp; DSD \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElement III supports up to 32\/384kHz PCM and DSD128 through our second generation XMOS XU208 engine.
