Set sampling rate to the highest integer
multiple of your music collection. For
example, use 192kHz for a collection of 48k
and 192k audio files. Common streaming
services and games tend to use 48kHz
audio. Alternatively, you may install the
optional XMOS drivers in Win 10/11 and
use an ASIO capable app to achieve
bitperfect sampling rate changes. Active
sampling rate is displayed on Element III’s
screen.
Element III can amplify headphones to
dangerously loud audio. Listen
safely to conserve your hearing:

By default, Element III disables host
operating volume controls for maximum
fidelity and plentiful D/A headroom. Note:
Win 10/11 may still permit system level
volume adjustments.
Element III uses a high current power
supply and runs warm to the touch. Avoid
covering the top and sides.
Element III can be safely powered on 24/7.
Do not lift the amplifier by its knob!
To ensure an optimal noise floor,
always position headphone amplifiers as
far away as possible from wireless devices.
