SMSL DL100
Desktop DAC and headphone amplifier
The SMSL DL100 DAC (digital to analogue converter) and headphone amplifier with four CS43131 chips, Texas Instruments OPA1612A dual amplification, Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity and HDMI ARC input is aimed at desktop music listening enthusiasts and fans of home cinema.
4 chip solution for excellent sound quality
The DL100 is capable of direct 32bit/768kHz PCM sampling. It also supports DSD256 native DSD playback without conversion. The optical and coaxial inputs support DOP64.
New, state-of-the-art headphone amplifier circuit
It uses a proprietary independent amplifier circuit for superior performance. The performance is approximately 16 times higher at 300 Ohms compared to the previous generation of products incorporating the CS43131 chip.
5 types of PCM filters
The filter is a step in the process of converting PCM digital audio into an analogue signal. It mainly affects high-frequency signals down to about 20 kHz.
Dual USB mode: 2.0/1.1
In the menu you can switch between 2 different USB modes. USB2.0 requires driver installation to support high sampling rate audio files up to 768 kHz/32 bit. Using USB1.1 mode can be driver-free, to support audio files with sampling rates up to 96kHz/16bit, you can connect directly to various devices for audio output. Connectable with game consoles, TVs, Android devices, etc.
Simply connect an HDMI cable to play TV sound
HDMI (ARC) allows seamless audio playback without any need to adjust settings. Simply connect it to your TV's HDMI port for TV sound output.
MQA/MQA-CD decoding
The DL100 is a full MQA decoder that fully extends MQA music files to provide high quality sound sources. At this playback level, you will hear the content created by the artist in the studio in full quality.
Qualcomm Bluetooth chip with aptX HD and LDAC support
With a modular Bluetooth antenna solution, signal stability and transmission quality have been improved in all aspects. Using codecs that support the highest resolution takes the wireless music listening experience to a new level.
Simple handling with the RC-8C remote
The DL100 can be placed freely while enjoying full control remotely. The remote controller can set many useful functions, such as display brightness that can be lowered for evening music listening.
4x CS43131 - Two chips per channel
A new generation of low power audio decoder chips with impedance sensing. Provides excellent professional audio performance, dramatically reduces the space occupied on the board and prevents interference between lines. Provides excellent sound quality.
Headphone amplifier circuit
Proprietary independent amplifier circuit, high power output program, using a large amplifier circuit with high quality relays and sophisticated sound design.
16 Ohm – 3000mW x2
32Ohm – 1500mW x2
In addition, a third generation XMOS XU-316, three OPA1612A operational amplifiers and an internal power supply supporting low noise are incorporated.
APX 555 B test results
The DL100 has a measured distortion of only 0.00009%, a symmetrical output SNR of 132dB and a dynamic range of 132dB. It has excellent hardware performance indicators!
