    Yes, the front knob of the DL200 controls the volume of the RCA and TRS outputs.

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    I am using two DL200 for over a year and both are working great. An alternative would be the new SMSL RAW-MDA 1 DAC. Practically a DL200 with XLR outputs instead of TRS, two digital inputs more, a fancier display in a smaller case. And a very good review with excellent results published by...

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    My measurements confirmed the filters for pre FW 1.3. SMSL FL1 - Minimum phase slow roll-off low dispersion (ESS #8) SMSL FL2 - Minimum phase (ESS #1) SMSL FL3 - Linear phase apodizing fast roll-off (ESS #2) SMSL FL4 - Linear phase fast roll-off (ESS #3) SMSL FL5 - Linear phase fast roll-off...

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    Unknown, no version info from SMSL (@SMSL: Is it so hard to provide basic dev information? OMG). They changed the PDF of the manual but nobody can confirm that this is related to the firmware update (for example without new measurements).

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    We would need new measurements to be sure that anything has changed and not only the PDF of the manual. I don't have the time at the moment to perform new measurements and more importantly my two DL200s work perfectly fine and I have no intention to update the firmware.

    Your summary after my measurements and your analysis for the SMSL DL200: SMSL FL1 - Minimum phase slow roll-off low dispersion (ESS #8) SMSL FL2 - Minimum phase (ESS #1) SMSL FL3 - Linear phase apodizing fast roll-off (ESS #2) SMSL FL4 - Linear phase fast roll-off (ESS #3) SMSL FL5 -...

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    Sorry, I don't want to fight with you but from what I can see there are no new real measurements of the DL200 with the new firmware 1.3. So we still don't know. It's only an assumption from your side because of the changed manual.

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    How could you know that? The pdf was wrong before. This is your assumption based on a change of the pdf? Is there any evidence that the firmware 1.3 actually changes anything regarding the filter settings/order?

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    As I explained, it has nothing to do with the firmware. It is an internal synchronization for the firmware flashing procedure. There is no change log whatsoever.

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    Thanks. But this could be wrong as it was before? So to be sure we would have to repeat the filter measurments after the FW upgrade to 1.3?

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    "Never touch a running system" An old saying in the golden days of IT. But in today's IT there are essential security updates. Therefore it is highly recommended to perform regular updates for example of your BIOS/UEFI or your operating system. But a DAC or HiFi equipment carry no security...

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    This message is caused by the adjustment of the frequency of the serial interface controller of the MCU (Micro Controller Unit) and has nothing to do with the firmware itself. This frequency adjustment/check of the serial controller is necessary to transmit the firmware correctly.

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    Btw, the pdf shows a screenshot from 2022. It is just an example and has nothing to do with the actual DL200 firmware. So there is no description what bugs have been fixed, no version history or change log. Well I would be very careful installing a firmware without any change log. If you...

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    Have you experienced sync-problems? My point: The firmware development of these Chinese manufacturers has not been very reliable. I would apply a firmware update only if I absolutely have to and if it is solving a problem I am having.
  15. Q

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    What problems should the new firmware fix? Do you have any problems with your DL200 and the factory firmware? Or just update because it seems to be newer?

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    I have no idea about the usb 1.1 problem. It should keep the last setting. But regarding the display: If you press the FN button on the remote for a few seconds you can turn ON/OFF the auto-display-off feature.

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    I don't know if this is of any help: It happened to me a couple of times until I learned what was causing the reset. In one of my setups I am using a switchable power strip. If I turn the power strip on and immediately press the encoder to turn on the DL200 , the settings are reset to defaults...

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    Lieben Dank! At first I have to test this with my workstation (and maye another PC). I have a second ADI-2 PRO and would be able to cross check this.

    SMSL DL200 the best ever value DAC/AMP?

    When I disconnected the DL200, only the USB cable was connected to the ADI-2 PRO, nothing else and of course power. I could check this with my workstation. Today I just used a MiniPC, which is normally used for SW testing. I will have to find the time.
