Hi! My beloved D-6 became unusable after 3 years... It started making random noise sometimes and now I can hear that constantly. Can someone guide me through troubleshooting? I've checked 3V3, 1V, 4V, +-11V rails and they all seem fine (I haven't noted the voltage ripple tho). Can't really check...

Hi everyone, I got a SMSL DL200 back in April which has been working very well. I saw that a firmware update (MCU, not driver) is available on SMSL's website so I wanted to get it installed on my unit. The update comes in a ZIP file with an executable and a PDF manual: First of First of all...

Hello everyone, I would like to ask for some advice on setting up a desktop audio system. I have a pair of Infinity Reference 1 mk2 passive speakers that I primarily want to use with my PC. Based on a friend's experience (with a Fosi V3) and what I've read online, I want to avoid amplifying...

I did look for this discussion but couldn't find the answer, thought I'd sign up as I'm very much down a rabbit hole. I just had a WiiM Mini delivered on the plans to get an external DAC...but I've since started to sonder if I should have just got the WiiM Pro Plus? I can still send the mini...

Hi! I need a lot of help and advice. I have the Hifiman Ananda Stealth v3 (the latest ones), and I'm really torn between two DAC amps. The two options: 1) SMSL C200 2) Fiio K7 I'd use the headphones mainly for single-player and competitive gaming. Which option do you think I should choose and...

Sorry to bother you guys, but I'm not sure if it would work... Like - okay I can plug them into because there is a interface for them - fine, but according to SMSL C200 Manual I should put them in 32 ohm mode right? - because this is 32 ohm and above? Btw what you think about that setup? I...

I purchased an SMSL A300 Power Amp about 18 months ago for my Rega Planar 1 turntable, using a Rega Fono Mini as a preamp. I’ve had no issues until now. On reconnecting the amp to the preamp after moving my setup I heard a faint pop and my amp powered off. I can see some green light through the...

As in the title. The remote for the SMSL M500 DAC stopped working. It’s as if it froze. This is the second time it has happened. Replacing the battery doesn’t help. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I did the first time to make it work again. Can anyone help?

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...
