This custom USB cable forces UAC1 mode on all current JDS Labs DACs for connecting to PS4/PS5. Connect your DAC's original, Black USB cable for full UAC2 features.

For more information, please refer to Custom Firmware Builds

Direct connections are preferred. If you need to connect your DAC more than 3ft away, you may use a USB hub to serve as an extension.

Connecting to PS4/PS5

PS5 Owners: Be sure to connect to one of the USB ports on the rear side of your PS5. The front USB port may introduce noise.

Also Note: PS4 and PS5 are known to limit USB Audio output volume. Please be sure to install PS4/PS5 tested firmware to force proper volume levels. All current DACs ship with appropriate firmware. For older DACs, you may need to update your firmware.

• Atom DAC+: > v2.1.0 (default)
• EL DAC II+: > v2.1.0 (default)
• Element III: Not required! Choose UAC1 from Options Menu

• EL DAC II: v1.6.7
• Element II: v1.3.A
• Atom DAC: v1.4.7
