Several SMSL DACs using versions of the ESS ES9039 chip have mislabeled filters. First, I will use the case of the DL200 using one ES9039Q2M chip to show this is the case and correctly identify the filters. Then, I will show that other SMSL DACs using ES9039 chips namely the D-6S, DO100 Pro and...

So I was looking for a sub to pair with my Adam T5Vs, discovered that the matching T10S sub has a horrible standby mode, so I was recommended the JBL LSR310S instead. I'm considering it, but my DAC is a SMSL SU-1, which doesn't have balanced inputs to support the JBL sub. Perhaps it's time to...

I recently ordered a pair of kh120ii and the MA1 microphone to start with. They haven't arrived yet but I think it is time to pick a DAC for them to work. I do have a budget for a smsl SUX or D2R and i've heard nice words about them. But after browsing through a few other cheaper options like...

SMSL has quietly presented its new T2 MQA CD Transport from the VMV series at the High End trade fair in Munich. Price about 1000 $/€ or more...

I received a promotional email from SMSL. According to the email, they will introduce a new decoder with HDMI (ARC) input at the end of May. I don't quite understand the significance of this interface for a decoder. Is it meaningful? Would anyone connect a DAC to a TV?

I am somewhat new to this, so please forgive me. I'm trying to figure out if I need a music streamer and a DAC, just the streamer, or if there's another path I'm not considering. I have been working on improving my audio situation in my living room a Denon AVR-X4800 and have a 2.1 speaker...

The starting point, a dac and power amp. The power amp is not for discussion here. But, from a technical/measurable perspective will there be any benefits from adding extra devices into the stack. -First choice, an example, If you buy the Gustard x18 dac, xlr out 5V Will there be any benefits...

At the moment I'm using the SMSL A300's internal DAC and it sounds relatively good after all, pairing with the notebook is practical on days where I just want to turn on and play, but Windows 10 is recognizing it as a headset instead of speakers (which would be correct), I notice that there is a...

Title of topic / product name, affter SMSL officla site SMSL DO400 Fully Balanced Audio Decoder & Headphone Amplifier https://www.smsl-audio.com/portal/product/detail/id/843.html Hmm. I'm just wondering, no one has made topic of it, on either DAC or HP Amp section, tho its appraently availble...

my setup is samsung UN82RU8000FXZA > SMSL-SU1 > Fosi V3 with the 48v 5a power supply. The SU1 is connected to the TV via optical and it only gets 314mV rms and 870mV pk to pk when I put a 40hz 0db signal through it with the Amazon Music app. No where near the 2Vrms that that they claim it...

I'm looking for a new DAC and I'm currently having trouble deciding between the D1SE2 and the D90SE. I've done some research and I know that they're both great DACs, but I'm still not sure which one would be the best fit for me. I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with both of these...

Hi. Anyone had luck controlling their SMSL DAC (hardware) volume using the USB interface? The Sanskrit 10th MKⅢ does not seem to expose its volume control over USB (see output from amixer below). I have come across reports online that this was possible with the MKII version, and other SMSL DAC...

To set the scene... around 20 years ago I was listening to FLACs ripped from my own CD collection on a Logitech Squeezebox -> Musical Fidelity X-DACV3 -> Audio Alchemy DLC -> Cambridge Audio SA200 -> Mission 752. Our TV was also connected to the DLC so one could have TV/Movie sound on this...

I welcome everyone! I got SMSL Sanskrit 10th MKIII DAC the other day, it sounds very good. I haven't heard previous versions so I can't compare, but I can take it apart and see what's inside, which I did. The board has clearly changed again, keeping the main features of the MKII version. At...

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...
