    AOSHIDA SMSL C200 Review (DAC & Amp)

    Don't worry about it, they both transmit the same way. D6 has AKM chip, C200 has ESS chip and better specs. Also C200 has a headphone amp. Balance TRS output of these DACs goes to balanced XLR or TRS input on the amp and/or powered speaker. RCA output goes to RCA input. Balanced is better on...

    AOSHIDA SMSL C200 Review (DAC & Amp)

    I had it at 99, but read something of it being better to decrease that by 6db. Of course I thought I was adjusting volume not pre-amp voltage. I think it sounds better at 93, not blind tested.

    I see, so the two are separate. At what value do you normally put the pre-amp output voltage, 1-99? On my topping dx3pro I always had it in pure DAC mode, no voltage adjustment.

    AOSHIDA SMSL C200 Review (DAC & Amp)

    I cannot tell you if I installed it when I installed the driver from SMSL website. It is possible it was already on my system. I get high resolution.

    AOSHIDA SMSL C200 Review (DAC & Amp)

    It appears that this C200, doesn't have DAC only mode, unless I'm missing something, too bad. So, when connecting speakers the volume is controlled with DAC. I just set the volume to max 99 -6db, so 93, and control volume with Foobar.

    AOSHIDA SMSL C200 Review (DAC & Amp)

    I got the C200 hooked up for now to my speakers via RCA. When turning music on there is slight 'tick' sound, and when turning off 2 seconds after another 'tick. This is annoying as hell. My Dx3pro didn't do that. Also when turning music off the display with flicker from rate to 3 dashed lines...

    Anyone with C200, can you tell me if yours wakes up automatically when the computer is turned on? Answer: Apparently SMSL DACS don't have this feature. Topping DACS do.
