Atom DAC 2
Equipped with USB Type C and TOSLINK inputs, Atom DAC 2 runs on the latest upgradeable XMOS-based firmware, supporting UAC2 and UAC1 fallback*. Its subtle light ring glows during use, automatically powers down during periods of inactivity, and wakes up instantly and silently.
Features
METAL HOUSING 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. |
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 a UAC1 Fallback Cable. |
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. |
MEMS OSCILLATOR Atom DAC 2 is clocked by 45/49MHz MEMS oscillators with ±25ppm frequency stability, delivering minimal jitter. |
UPGRADEABLE FIRMWARE Atom DAC 2's XMOS based firmware configures and manages all functionality, with DFU support for future updates. |
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. |
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. |
NO MORE ROCKER SWITCH! Yes, Atom DAC 2 has a proper power switch! No need for the Rocker Switch bundled with Atom DAC(+). |

Engraving
Laser engraving is like printing with a laser printer - black-and-white images will come out pretty much perfect, and the more contrast, the better. Colors will be inverted, so everything white in the original image will be left black on the device, everything black is what the laser will engrave and will turn out white. Example:
This is the original image and then the engraving. It doesn't matter if the image or logo is perfectly centered, JDS Labs will do their best to center it for you. However, it should be "cleaned up" to perfect white where nothing should be engraved:
Here we have the original image, then the inverted color version for engraving, and then the result - notice the grains on top.
But if you have a monochrome image or logo, it will turn out pretty great!
In terms of formats and resolution, please provide either a high resolution .png image (>500ppi) or a .ai or .svg vector drawing. You can either send it to shop@levelaudio.at or reply to the order confirmation with an image of your choosing.
