Test du SMSL RAW-MDA 1 par AudioScienceReview

" The RAW-MDA 1 aims high and achieves it across the board despite its very reasonable price. It is good looking, compact and easy to operate. Some of this we expect from SMSL but the total package is a step forward, as difficult as that may have seemed. I am happy to recommend the SMSL RAW-MDA 1. "

Bonus pour les connectiques
DAC équipé de 2 entrées Coax et 2 entrées Spdif, ce qui est à mon avis un vrai plus. Qualité sonore vraiment excellente et bluffante à ce tarif. La combinaison de ces deux points en fait une alternative très sérieuse face à des appareils 2 à 3 fois plus onéreux. Je recommande vivement

Fait aussi bien (voire mieux) que des DAC avec ESS ES9038Pro
Excepté l'absence d'une Entrée HDMI Arc (que j'aurais souhaité, obligé de me rabattre sur le moins qualitatif SMSL DL100 pour le coin TV), le choix de mettre deux puces ESS ES9039Q2M (pour chaque canal) à la place d'une ESS ES9039Pro (le prix serait aisément doublé) et pas de PEQ intégré (une égalisation paramétrique), tout est parfait. Les mesures ne me contredisent pas.

J'avais peur que l'amplification casque (6,3 et 4,4mm) soient en retrait, que nenni, c'est excellent et puissant. Venant d'un Xonar Essence One amélioré avec des Opamp de qualité, j'entends des micro détails jusque là masqués. Un son précis, avec une bonne ouverture, détaillé sur l'ensemble du spectre, dynamique et de bonnes basses percutantes (juste ce qu'il faut). Je n'ai pas essayé de DAC à 1000€ ou plus, mais la différence doit être minime.

En toute honnêteté, ce DAC avec sortie casque vaut largement le SMSL M500 ou autre DAC tout intégré à base d'ESS ES9038Pro.

Un excellent rapport qualité/prix qui sera l'investissement idéal pour les mélomanes/audiophiles/homestudistes modestes et intelligents.

+ Un superbe son (sorties XLR, RCA et casque)
+ Tout est quasiment inclus (Bluetooth, MQA, MQA-CD)
+ Une taille modérée, s'insère partout

- Pas d'HDMI Arc
- Des puces DAC moins chères mais qui sont plus que suffisantes
- Pas de PEQ (égalisation paramétrique incluse) mais des filtres pour colorer le son.
