I bought SMSL DO300 and I think I became its beta tester. - The device in the factory settings is +2dB by default, - the default filter is fast linear, but more importantly, when the filters are turned off, the volume increases drastically and the sound becomes hoarse (Is there jitter...

Hi dear. Good afternoon, I have been reading reviews about Chinese amplifiers from brands like aiyima, slms, fosi audio, apparently they are not very durable over time and there are some people who indicate that they do not have much security against overloads or that failures occur with one...

The question is serious, and is aimed at anyone with sensible hypotheses. In a market so saturated with dacs of all kinds, where a new photocopied dac comes out every month, all with the same functions, all with the same characteristics, how is it possible that none of the low-cost Chinese...

New user here. I've searched this site so I'm assuming this problem unique to me. I was really excited to receive this unit. I have 3 inputs (Mac mini M2/USB, PC Laptop/BT, set top box/toslink) with a set of powered Mackie studio monitors with balanced inputs. Everything connected fine and...

I'm wondering if the analog inputs on the AO200 bypass its built in dac? All of the marketing material for the AO200 calls the unit a "Digital Amplifier," but that would imply that every signal going through the amp is converted to digital before amplification, is there a way to test if the...

Hi everyone, There are 2 new interesting model of SMSL DACs : (sharing a same chasis, a copy from Sabaj A20d/30 design but slim ver) - SMSL D400ES Audio DAC MQA MQA-CD Hires ES9039MSPRO 11OPA1612A XU316 DSD512 Bluetooth AES I2S 32bit/768kHz With Remote Control - SMSL D400EX AUDIO DAC 1*AK4191...

Hi all - new here! Ive just ordered a SMSL A300 and im just wondering what the best method is to connect it to my TV. The amp doesn't have optical so would it be best to buy a separate DAC? If so what would you recommend around AUD $100 - $150 range? Looking at this: SMSL Audio Sanskrit 10th...

Hello everyone, I have seen that a lot of times both SMSL and Topping bring out stacks of their DAC and Amp that apparently work well with each other. Can interchanging DACs and Amps from different stacks work? Will the SMSL SU-9n be a decent fit for the Topping A30 pro. I recently bought the...

SU-8 V2 for sale. Received it new in May 2020 and had it hooked up in my system for a few months. No difference vs. the DAC in my Node 2 so I removed it. It's been on a shelf since. Comes with USB cable and remote, let me know if you'd like a power cable as well. Or a normal USB cable w/o...

I'm looking at replacing my Topping A50s with the SP400 as a headphone amp/preamp to my speaker amp. I'm curious to know if the input impedance stated by SMSL is real because my DAC (Denafrips Ares II) has oddly high output impedance which doesn't play well with the A50s' strangely low input...

Recently my SMSL SU9N has started making this awful static noise. It doesn't matter if I use my NC252 or a headphone amp, as long as it's on XLR it makes that awful noise. -Tried different power cord -Tried with and without UPS/surge protector -Tried different interconnects -Tried using both...

So I found this DAC available on Shenzhen Audio website. But I couldn't find any comments on its performance or use: https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/smsl-d-6-dac-dual-ak4493s-bluetooth-5-1-pcm-768khz-32-bit-dsd512-decoder-with-remote-control It seem to offer an interesting mix of features...

Hello, I am building an inexpensive system for listening to music from a PC. The question is what is better to take as a DAC. Right now I'm using the ifi Zen DAC, but it's too weak as an amplifier, and also produces a small but still noticeable noise at high volume when connected to an...

I just happended to stumble upon THD+N data @ 4 Ω for the AO200, published by Aoshida. SMSL isn't even displaying this data themselves on their AO200 page. They only show results for 8 Ω. Obviously, I can't check whether the data is correct and actually belongs to the AO200. But I thought I'd...

Hi, I'm pretty new to the forum but I'm following Amir on Youtube from quite a few months and I really appreciate the work he's doing bringing facts to us people. Looking at the reviews of some DACs on this forum, I was wondering if buying the SMSL SU-9 (or the 9n version) would be an upgrade...

You've read Amir's review of this DAC, measures in the top 4 of all that he's tested to date, so I won't wax poetic. It's in excellent, barely used condition, with factory packaging and everything as originally sold, including mic, manual, set up guides, etc. I bought this to stick my toe into...

Despite weeks of research I can’t seem to find an amplifier that majority of people agree is a worthy unit. I am looking for sound quality mainly, and will use Elac B5.2 along with a Dayton sub1200. I currently have a (2011) Denon AVR 591 home theater receiver. This was their base model amp back...

I assume many people will say "we know!" but I wanted to add my story as a warning of poor support from SMSL. I have been using the SA300 and SP200 for around a year and a half now, both products have always been great for me. Recently I re-organized my desk and in the process of it the SA300...

Hi friends, a few days ago I received my first quality headphones - 6xx. I am considering purchasing Asgard 3 + Modius but want to ask if Modi 3 will do the job too? The headphones are currently connected to the Asus TUF X570 GAMING motherboard with the Realtek A1200, and it sounds pretty...
