Description
Element III MK2 – Boosted
BOOSTED POWER
Boosted Power means that your Element III is assembled with quad output buffers (two per channel). This extra silicon doubles amperage availability, approximately doubling output power to 2.3W+ into 32Ω headphones. All other performance and noise specifications remain the same. Idle power consumption is only 0.02W higher, or negligible.
Simplified Audio, Reimagined
We’ve reimagined our flagship amp+DAC to create a listening experience you will notice and appreciate. 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.
