MQA Support

The SMSL D1se is able to decode MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) audio files. These are the guarantee of a restitution quality as close as possible to the original studio recording for an incomparable listening.

ES9038Pro DAC & High-end components

The D1se uses an ESS ES9038Pro DAC chip for its conversion stage. This one offers incredible sound performances and excellent measurements, with notably a SNR of 140dB and a THD+N of -122dB. In addition, this 32bit 8-channel chip ensures a very low distortion of 0.00009% (-121dB) and supports high-resolution audio streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512.

All the circuits of the D1se also benefit from high-end components. We find an ES9311 chip in the power supply stage, allowing to provide the DAC with a low noise electrical signal. This power supply stage also embeds Nichicon KG filtering capacitors as well as a high quality Noratel toroidal transformer. An XMOS XU-216 32bit USB interface is also used to process USB streams quickly and efficiently.

Bluetooth Transmission

The SMSL D1se embeds a Bluetooth 5.0 receiver and an antenna, allowing you to remotely broadcast your music, directly from your smartphone. Moreover, it supports the aptX codec, ensuring a fast and stable transmission for a quality of restitution close to that of the CD.

Petit DAC musical et détaillé
Première Déclinaison du D1, promotion Audiophonics, prux intéressant, délivrant un son très ouvert, belle imagerie, bien, pour quelqu'un qui recherche un appareil musical avec un DAC de pointe ESS non gravé avec un encombrement minimal. Il existe un S2 avec davantage d'OP qui a remplacé celui-ci et le nouveau DAC ESS 9039. Ces modèles ESS ont une belle neutralité, mais ce n'est pas stérile, une alternative intéressante à AKM ou à des R2R d'entrée de gamme.

DAC transparent et silencieux
En remplacement d'un ATOLL 100SE vieillissant, ce DAC est transparent et retranscrit les phonogrammes de façon très exacte et stable. Aucune signature sonore décelable. Ne pardonne rien aux enregistrements de mauvaise qualité.
Utilisé en liaisons RCA avec un amplificateur intégré.

Aucun bruit résiduel transmis à l'amplificateur lorsqu'il n'y a pas de source envoyant un signal. Aucun bruit non plus à la mise sous tension et à l'extinction.
Ne chauffe pratiquement pas.

seul bémol : entrée I2S non compatible avec source munie d'une sortie HDMI ARC (audio), quelles que soient les configurations de l'entrée I2S choisies. D'où le retrait d'un point.

à signaler: DAC détecté par mon PC et utilisable en liaison USB avant même d'avoir téléchargé le pilote dédié. Ce dernier installé, je n'ai vu rien de modifié dans l'utilisation du DAC.
Que la lecture des fichiers se fasse au format natif (flac 16 bits/44 Khz la plupart du temps) ou rééchantillonné en 32 bits/384 Khz ne change pratiquement rien au rendu sonore.

Fonctions MQA et Bluetooth inutiles pour mon usage et donc non testées.

SMSL D1SE
Big surprise for little money.
I bought this DAC for my weaker setup that I run in my studio.
Minimac M1- HQPlayer- SMSLD1SE- Accuphase E210 - Wharfedale Linton Heritage.
The performance is excellent, the sound is more reminiscent of something between an AKM and R2R than a Sabre.
Surprisingly, it held its own even in my large home setup, but there it competed with the much more expensive Accuphase DP750 and yes - it lost.
But the difference was not abysmal.
It is a suitable DAC for a set (amplifier, cables, loudspeaker) with a total value of around 5,000 EUR.
