SMSL unveils, with the DO300EX, a powerful, high-quality DAC/headphone amplifier. It incorporates quality components such as the AK4499EX DAC chip coupled with an AK4191 digital filter interface, an XMOS XU316 USB interface, 5 OPA 1612A, a TPA6120A2 headphone amplifier chip and the latest-generation Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth chip. Moreover, an MQA decoder is integrated into the DO300EX. This DAC is capable of decoding high-resolution audio streams up to PCM 32bit 768kHz, DSD512 and MQA-CD. Performance on the headphone amplifier side is also very good, and it's notable that the clock circuit is based on the DO300's, using the CK-03 architecture developed by the brand to achieve very low jitter. The DO300EX features a full range of connectors that can be adapted to numerous configurations and input sources. In addition, the exterior features a rather imposing screen and small aesthetic details, making this a pleasant-looking device.
The DO300EX incorporates an AK4499EX DAC chip coupled with an AKM AK4191 digital filter interface. This chip combo and the DO300EX's symmetrical architecture enable it to decode up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD up to DSD512. They also accept MQA streams and offer a distortion level of less than 0.00006% (-124dB).
A 16-core XMOS XU316 USB interface is integrated into the DO300EX. This interface enables it to process high-resolution streams (PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512) via its USB-C input port. This may be ideal for users wishing to use their computer as a source device. The interface is coupled with no less than 5 OPA1612A.
A Qualcomm QCC5125 chip enables the SMSL DO300EX to support AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX HD and LDAC codecs. So you can enjoy high-resolution files in wireless transmission.
On the front of the DO300EX are two headphone outputs: a balanced 4.4mm jack and an unbalanced 6.35mm jack. The headphone amplifier circuit incorporates a TPA6120A2 chip. The DO300EX can be adapted to a lot of different types of headphones, thanks to its wide range of connectors and high output power: 2x 2000mW / 16Ω, 2x 1000mW / 32Ω.
The DO300EX's MQA decoder enables it to support MQA-CD streams via its coaxial and Toslink optical inputs. This DAC therefore offers the possibility of enjoying professional audio quality, with retransmission as close as possible to the original sound recorded and worked on in the studio.
SMSL has specially designed an ultra-low-noise regulated linear power supply for its DO300EX DAC. This is complemented by a network of several low-noise regulated power supplies, providing a stable, reliable, efficient and low-noise overall power supply system.
The DO300EX remote control provides access to all basic functions such as volume control, play/pause/previous/next functions and input source selection.
