Loudlabs sonic atom full#

IEMs especially aren’t really a good match with the Atom as in most cases, they have too little volume control. Synergy: The Atom works better with higher impedance transducers than it does with sensitive/low-impedance transducers.

Koss KPH30i (low-gain, volume around 8-9 o'clock, unmodded, stock 3.5mm cable): Volume control is not a problem here nor does it lack in quality.

K´s Samsara K300 (low-gain, volume around 8-9 o'clock, full foams, stock 4.4mm cable): Volume control is not a problem here nor does it lack in quality.

You basically do not have any volume control here. I only have the option of having too little volume (and channel imbalance at that) or be right at where I want it to be but the slightest adjustment will increase it too much. Power is not a problem here in terms of volume but bass isn’t as tight as on the Asgard 3 which to me means the Atom is not capable of driving the P1 at its full potential.Īudiosense T800 (low-gain, volume around 7 o'clock, Elecom EHP-CAP20 tips + DIY Foam mod, cable A6 4.4mm): Here is where the Atom struggles, with a sensitive iem like the T800. Tin Hifi P1 (high-gain volume around 9 o'clock, EQ, JVC Spiral dot++, cable A9 4.4mm): Low-gain is at 12 o'clock while high-gain is around 9. Price: 100 usd (I paid closer to 200 usd thanks to import fees + VAT but will judge this based on its MSRP at 100 usd)įrequency Response, 20Hz-20kHz +/- 0.01dBĬhannel Balance Topping E10 -> JDS Ol switch -> JDS Atom While the DAC does NOT make any difference at all.

Disclaimer: I bought this in October 2019 at JDS´official site at full price (+ import fees yay) so I have used this for almost 2 years now.ĭisclaimer 2: My opinion is that amps do make some very slight differences in the tonality but it is very minor and if you want to change the tonality of the transducer it is better to change the transducer itself or to change the tips/foams/pads (iem, earbud, headphones).
