Support MQA

MQA for Master Quality Authenticated is an award-winning British technology for restoring the sound of the original recording. The MQA Master file is authenticated by the artists, producers or rights holders. These files are small enough to be streamed or downloaded.

The M500 includes an MQA decoder to play these files in order to provide the best possible audio quality.

MQA decoding is only available via the USB input.

The M400 can also receive bluetooth audio streams and supports the best audio protocols available today : UAT, LDAC, apt-X HD, SBC, AAC, for wireless transmission up to 192kHz - 24bit.

The device has a balanced stereo output on 3-pole XLR connectors as well as a single-ended stereo output on RCA connectors.

The XLR and RCA outputs are active simultaneously.

USB interfae XMOS XU216

The USB input of the M500 is associated with an XMOS XU216 32bit XMOS interface, with custom driver. This ensures rich and transparent playback while supporting high sampling rates.

Horloges Accusilicon


The digital stage of the M400 uses ultra high precision and ultra low noise Accusilicon clocks to provide the best audio performance.

These crystal oscillators with extremely low phase noise (<90dBc @ 10Hz) are usually intended for professional recording devices. They propose a singularly low jitter rate measured at <2ps on the 10Hz-1MHz band and <0.08ps on the 12-80MHz band.


Filtres numériques

The SMSL M500 also includes 7 digital filters for PCM signals, allowing you to adapt the playback to your listening needs.

  1. Fast linear
  2. Slow linear
  3. Apodizing
  4. Fast minimum
  5. Slow minimum
  6. Fast hybrid
  7. Brickwall
