The JDS Labs Element II is a combination of an extremely high-quality digital to analog converter with a powerful headphone amplifier in one box. It connects to a computer via USB and also requires a separate power connection (for the amplifier). Output is provided in the form of either a 1/4-inch headphone plug on the front or left and right RCA preamp outputs, for powered speakers, on the back. There is a large volume knob on the top of the unit, with the few other controls and connectors on the rear.
Note: USB DACs are recommended for those with powered monitors (speakers)
