    SMSL VMV A2 Review (Stereo Amplifier & DAC)

    Thanks for the suggestions. I've ordered the VMV A2 almost 3 weeks ago from hifi-express.com . I already have the traking number, but no indication about the expected delivery date. No answer as well from my inquiries. So far I am not very happy with their customer service. Once it arrives I...

    S.M.S.L DA-9 vs AO200?

    Hello. Did anyone find any specs on the DAC inside the AO200? Is there a DAC inside? Ou there is none, like in the VMV A2? If there is a dac, which one? Does the fact that it is a Type A input represent a disadvantage versus a type B input? Did anyone use the USB input? Will it work with...

    SMSL VMV A2 Review (Stereo Amplifier & DAC)

    Lyngdorf is quite more expensive… Would you say A2 is “bargain”? Or for 1000 usd range there are still better sounding options?

    VMV SMSL A2 - DAC CHIP INSIDE

    Since the upstream DAC is useless in a Class D amp, do you know of any class D alternatives to the VMV A2, that have a USB Type B connection? I don't see them on the Hypex kits. I will use it only connected to my PC (Hi Res audio).

    VMV SMSL A2 - DAC CHIP INSIDE

    What are the implications of such architecture for the sound quality? would I be better off with the VMV A1 (class A) connected to my SMSL-SU9 DAC? If you had to pick the main rival/ benchmark in the market for the A2 which would be?

    I have the same doubt. I can’t find any reference to the DAC chip used.

    VMV SMSL A2 - DAC CHIP INSIDE

    Hi. I would like to know what is the DAC chip used in the VMV SMSL A2 (class D) amp. I see the amp has an UBS type B input, so I assume I could use it as as an external dac, connecting it directly to my PC with the XMOS driver. I own the DAC SMSL SU-9. I am very happy with that DAC and I...
