SMSL: Affordable high-end Hi-Fi
Discover the complete SMSL product range
SMSL is a renowned manufacturer of Hi-Fi products. Over the years, the brand has managed to innovate and maintain a high level of quality across its entire product range, thanks to its research and development (R&D) center. Audiophiles particularly appreciate SMSL for the technical capabilities and performance of their products, which remain affordable when compared to products from other brands with similar features. Today, SMSL offers its classic range as well as a top-of-the-range SMSL VMV line, both of which comprise numerous product types: DACs, amplifiers, headphone amplifiers, CD players, speakers and digital interfaces. Enough to meet all your needs and high standards.
Overview of the SMSL DAC range
SMSL has made its DAC range its flagship by developing a line of high-performance, relatively affordable products. In fact, each of its DACs incorporates market-recognized components whose performance is no longer in question: latest-generation AKM and ESS chips, XMOS USB interface, latest-generation Qualcomm Bluetooth chip, etc. Most SMSL DACs are therefore able to support very high-resolution 32bit 768kHz streams and native DSD up to DSD512. Most are also equipped with headphone amplification. Aesthetically, the brand's products are simple, refined and modern, with aluminum cases and often beautifully designed screens.
You will find our non-exhaustive selection of SMSL DACs here:
SMSL SU-X: The latest arrival, the SU-X is a state-of-the-art DAC. Featuring a symmetrical design, it integrates 2 ES9039MSPRO chips and supports streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz, DSD512 and MQA/MQA-CD. Its components are integrated into an elegant case, and it features a large IPS color display in tempered glass.
SMSL DL300: The DL300 integrates the famous AKM AK4499 + AK4191 chip combo, enabling it to decode streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz, DSD512 and MQA/MQA-CD. It also features two amplified headphone outputs, a Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.1 reception chip and an IPS display.
SMSL D400 Pro: Also incorporating the AKM AK4499 + AK4191 chip combo, it supports PCM 32bit 768kHz, DSD512 and MQA/MQA-CD streams. Like the SU-X and DL300, it offers a wide range of connections, but lacks headphone amplifier functionality. However, Bluetooth reception and an IPS display are available, and its casing boasts elegant curves.
SMSL VMV D2R: The D2R is part of the brand's high-end line, as evidenced by the high-end aesthetics of its case and color IPS screen. This DAC embeds a ROHM BD34301 conversion chip for exceptional measurements, including a THD +N measured at -117dB. This model therefore focuses on performance, while retaining a wide range of connectors.
Overview of the SMSL amplifier range
SMSL's amplifier range is a little more affordable than its DACs, but no less high quality, since most of them incorporate recognized and extremely well-measured amplifier chips. The range will satisfy a wide variety of power requirements, from 2x 25W to over 2x 200W. In the early days, the brand focused on FDA amplification technology, while today it designs Class D amplifiers for powerful, high-efficiency performance. You'll find Infineon or Texas Instrument chips in most of these amplifiers.
You will find our non-exhaustive selection of SMSL amplifier here:
SMSL DA1: This small amplifier features the essentials, with 2x 25W of power at 4 ohms, thanks to a TI TPA3118 chip and connectors consisting exclusively of a stereo RCA input and an output on speaker terminals. An anti-POP speaker protection circuit completes the package.
SMSL AO300: The AO300 is one of the SMSL amplifiers featuring an Infineon MA5332MS chip delivering 2x 160W at 4 ohms. Extremely versatile, it also features a CS43131 DAC chip and an XMOS XU316 USB interface, enabling it to support high-resolution streams via its digital inputs. Two headphone outputs and a subwoofer output make it suitable for all types of use. As you can see, the AO300 is an all-in-one amplifier!
SMSL AO200 MKII: A sort of cousin to the AO300, the AO200 MKII features two Infineon MA5332MS amplifier chips for 2x 160W power at 4 ohms. It benefits from a balanced XLR analog input, but more limited digital connectivity, with only a USB-A input. Headphone amplification is also not available on this model. The AO200 MKII is therefore intended for users wishing to benefit from a balanced XLR input.
SMSL AL200: In the same spirit, the AL200 delivers 2x 160W of power at 4 ohms with its Infineon MA5332MS chip, and supports high-resolution streams thanks to a CS43131 DAC chip, an XMOS XU316 USB interface and an integrated MQA decoder. It has a more modern look than the AO200 MKII, but lacks the balanced XLR input, as well as the HDMI I2S input and subwoofer output of the AO300. On the other hand, there are some handy digital inputs, such as USB-C, Toslink optical and coaxial SPDIF. As for outputs, the AO300 gets straight to the point, with speaker terminals and a 6.35mm headphone output.
If you need an amplifier with a different power level, there are a few models to complete our selection. In order of power, for example, there's the DA-6 and AO100, both with 2x 70W @ 4 ohm power in class D, the DA-9 balanced amplifier with 2x 90W under 4 ohm in class D, the SMSL VMV A2 FDA with 2x 200W of power and the SA400 capable of developing a power of 2x 230W!
SMSL headphone amplifier range overview
More discreet, the SMSL range of headphone amplifiers still holds some pleasant surprises for audiophiles who enjoy headphone listening sessions. Most SMSL headphone amplifiers are powerful and ultra-low-noise. They can drive all types of headphones with impedances ranging from 16 ohms to 600 ohms. Moreover, they are often equipped with balanced and unbalanced RCA and XLR outputs, enabling them to act as preamplifiers.
You will find our non-exhaustive selection of SMSL headphone amplifiers here:
SMSL SH-X: This balanced headphone amplifier features no less than 80 low-noise OPAs and 3 gain levels. Focused on performance, it boasts excellent measurements. Its refined, elegant IPS screen is reminiscent of some of the brand's other models. In terms of connectivity, there are 3 headphone outputs: 6.35mm jack, balanced 4.4mm jack and balanced XLR 4-pin. On the back, XLR and RCA inputs and outputs complete the connectivity package.
SMSL VMV P2: Part of the high-end SMSL series, the VMV P2 integrates 99 AOPs implemented in a fully balanced architecture, and a high-efficiency, low-noise power supply stage. Powerful, it is capable of driving all types of headphones on the market, and features the full range of headphone amplifier/preamplifier connectors. Its modern-looking case features a wide gold band for a luxurious touch.
SMSL H300: For its part, the H300 has a sober look and a relatively more compact form factor. It features 64 mini AOPs and the same connectivity as the SH-X and VMV P2. Gain control is also available, but this time there's no screen or tempered glass panel on the front.
Other SMSL products: digital interfaces, CD players and speakers
In addition to the flagship products presented above, SMSL has developed more surprising products such as a CD player, interfaces and speakers. If you already own SMSL products, for example, they're sure to complete your Hi-Fi installation...
SMSL PL200: SMSL's CD player combines modernism with a retro look, thanks to a front panel featuring an IPS screen and piano keyboard control keys reminiscent of vintage cassette players. High-performance, it features a P.A.S.S servo playback system, as well as an XMOS XU316 USB interface and an AKM AK4499EX + AK4191EQ DAC chip, enabling it to be used as a USB DAC. Its comprehensive output connectivity even includes a 6.35mm headphone output.
SMSL PO100 PRO & PO100AK: These USB interfaces can receive a digital signal and convert it to an optical, I2S HDMI or analog RCA output. The PO100 PRO features a UAC 1/2 selection mode to adapt to your video game consoles, as well as a switch with two I2S modes for greater compatibility with your Hi-Fi installation. For its part, the PO100AK incorporates an AK4493S DAC chip for processing high-resolution streams and outputting them to analog RCA.
SMSL TABEBUIA WAVECOR: The brand has extended its range with a speaker model designed in collaboration with Wavecor, a well-known loudspeaker brand. These bookshelf speakers feature rounded curves and integrated decoupling spikes. With a power handling capacity of 2x 100W and a sensitivity of 88dB, they're ideal for any room.
