The series was inaugurated with the DO200 DAC, the HO200 headphone amplifier and the AO200 integrated speaker amplifier. SMSL C200 brings crisp high-resolution audio signal decoding to your desktop chain. It uses a second-generation XMOS USB processor that provides full support for decoding high-resolution 32-Bit/768kHz PCM and native DSD512 audio signals. Powerful Headphone Amp Circuit:- The front plate of the unit is affixed separately from the rest of the frame. And instead of simply shaping it in the same rectangular shape, short extensions looking like feet can be seen dangling on both ends. According to FiiO, when adjusting the volume of the K7, the built-in MCU detects the rotation of the knob and puts it through a series of processes. Rotating the knob-> MCU sensing and anti-shake processing-> converting it to a value-> sending volume adjustment instructions to the electronic volume chip-> changing the volume. Although this process works very fast, it causes a small delay due to the MCU implemented in this device as it needs to add error correction measures to get a stable processing outcome every time. SMSL C200 features a built-in discrete component linear power supply. There is no external AC adapter and provides clean power to the Digital and Analog circuits. Use It As A Dedicated DAC:-

Digital glare does exist but it doesn't get annoyingly intrusive and it doesn't add a metallic timbre to the sound. On the front panel are the 6.35mm and 4.4mm headphone outputs, followed by the multi-function volume knob and OLED display.If you have a dime to spare, please donate, and help us! It would make the day brighter for me and my wife-

The USB protocol is USB 1.1, which should be fully compatible with most sources, including PS4, PS5, XBOX, Android and iPhones, and PC, plus, the power input is a typical cattle plug, which should be easy to source. Even better, we have Bluetooth input, supported by a provided antenna, and it has Bluetooth 5.0 with LDAC support. SMSL designed the power supply to be inside the unit, to have better isolation from noise, and with the C200 being built around ESS ES9038Q2M, it can play and decode native DSD512, and PCM Hi-Res signals as high as 32 Bit / 768 kHz. The amplifier is rated at 2.6Wx2/16Ω and 1.3Wx2/32Ω so it is very powerful and did a great job driving all my usual headphones with plenty of headroom. The display on the Aoshida Audio SMSL C200 is small but sharper than the SMSL DO100, and very 1980’s looking. It gets the job done but I have to admit I was initially befuddled when “L O” and “H O” were not gain settings but were Line Out vs Headphone Out, oops read the manual. Covering every genre, from high-end DAC, to power amplifiers and dedicated headphone amplifiers, the brand is best known for its excellent quality/price ratio. Some, like the SMSL AD18 , or SH-8S are now all-time classics and can be found on many chi-fi enthusiast desks. Mine, for example, hosts the brilliant DO200 + HO200 combo, a superb DAC + headphone/amp duo that earned my personal recommendation as one of the best combos you could get in this price range, and above.

Design

You must return an item in the same condition as it was received. You must also include, in the same condition as it was received: Accidents, abuse, misuse, improper installation, problems with electrical power, acts of third parties. Remote and tweaks​This tiny thing has a remote supplied! SMSL actually gives a remote with a C200…Will you use it? The volume knob can do all the stuff the remote can but, of course, takes a little learning to master. If you’re on a long lead with the display switched off then, for sure, it will have some benefits. I suppose my usage was more about discovery than it will be for those who live with this as their constant companion.

SMSL needs no introduction, founded in 2009 are specialized in the audio DAC, stereo headphone amplifier and power amplifiers with a very competitive prices. Having both the 6.35mm and 4.4mm headphone outputs means I can use it with any IEM and all but 1 of my headphones. That alone would make me choose this over the Topping DX3 Pro Plus and L30 II. The presence and delivery are there for electric guitars. Just don’t expect too much on the subtleties since the C100 can blunt the edges a bit. This, however, suits instruments like the violin, observing that the depth of each note is being given a nice balance of body and zing to not sound too dry. Staging & DynamicsDamage due to user negligence, accidents, disassembly, waterlog, misuse, abuse, alterations or vandalism. Any item returned must be complete with all accessories, hardware, manuals, or instructions, and in the same "new" condition as when it was when shipped to you. Please send us photos or videos of it. The headphone output is rather strong, with up to 2.6W per channel at 16 OHMs, and 1.3W per channel at 32 OHMs, enough to drive most headphones, including Audeze LCD-XC and Avantone Pro Planar. There’s even a remote for you to have comfortable control over C200, useful especially if it will be used as a desktop DAC/AMP.
