smsl

I recently purchased a used SMSL SU-9n on audiogon and long story short the optical/toslink input is malfunctioning but the USB works well. I tested multiple cables, sources, and I looked through the menus for simple solutions to no avail. All of my other cables and components work as intended...

Looking to get a new DAC. Really into these three options. Portability would be nice but audio quality is the main factor here. I like all the options of the project and the SMSL with the filters, MQA, and so on…but the Chord Mojo is something I’ve wanted for awhile and feel it would work good...

Greetings AKers, I just received an SMSL SU-8 DAC to replace my Modi Multibit and I must say that I'm absolutely blown away. I'm listening to my standard suite of test songs (tracks I'm very familiar with) and it sounds phenomenal. Two things drove me to replace the Modi Multibit: 1, my...

Well, after a few weeks waiting for it. I have my new DAC. An experiment to see if I can get similar sound at a more economical price point than my absolutely amazing former DAC, the Mytek Brooklyn+. Too early for a real review. But so far, it sounds pretty dang good.

For whom it may concern, i was reading a lot in the past couple of weeks, trying to decide what DAC from the "entry spend level" DAC's would be the most significant improvement to my audio system. i actually wasn't aware that there was something wrong with my setup until i visited a friend who...

Hello, it is gonna be my first proper audio setup and I need some advide. Long story short, I've already researched quite a lot and have some ideas. SPEAKERS: Pioneer Sp-BS22-LR(these are settled for sure) DAC: SMSL M6 (wanted Audioengine d1, but I need to unplug headphones to use speakers)...

I had this guy sitting in a closet for the better part of 5 months, only using it as a "test" amp because of portability. My Marantz PM7002 has been acting up, so I threw the SMSL in it's place and WOW. I have it driving a pair of the notoriously power hungry Dahlquist DQ-10s at the moment and...

Hello, I just purchased the Sony X900e and don't want a large HT receiver for my simple 2.1 setup, so I got the SMSL SA-50 PLUS. The receiver does great, and can easily power my setup to crazy volumes. The issue is remotes. The Sony remote is huge and has a host of very specific buttons, the...

I am a neophyte when it comes to audio. I've only seriously been interested for a few years now and am too cheap to do things "properly". I get interesting speakers from garage sales and craigslist and power them with decent components, but I've never really owned anything "high end" or other...

Hi all, Please excuse the utter noobish-ness of this post. I've looked around a lot and come away completely confused. So, I've had to return my Monoprice hybrid tube amp because of a faulty power supply. While I really like the look and sound of my little amp, it seems to me more sensible to...

Hi. I have a few questions about SMSL amplifiers. Here's my situation: I currently have a budget HDTV hooked up to two Polk bookshelf speakers and a cheap Lepai amplifier (it cost under $40). The info on the Lepai amplifier is here...

I was thinking of getting an SMSL SA-50 amplifier with some of my Christmas money, but can it be bridged? I want to use it for testing speakers I get from the thrift, and I also want to use it for a small subwoofer in my house.
