For maximum signal fidelity, set the
DAC to 24-bit audio and adjust digital
volume slightly below 100% at your
computer. Only control volume from
the amplifier.
The Element can amplify headphones
to dangerously loud audio. Listen
safely to conserve your hearing:

Set sampling frequency to match the
majority of your music (i.e., use 44100
Hz for 44.1kHz music).
The Element uses a high current
power supply and runs warm to the
touch. Avoid covering the top and rear
sides.
The Element can be safely powered on
24/7. For maximum relay lifespan, cycle
power at least once per month.
Do not lift amplifier by knob, or turn
knob beyond its limits.
Use gentle force when inserting or
removing cables.
To ensure an optimal noise floor,
always position headphone amplifiers
as far away as possible from wireless
devices.
