Description
Hi, thanks for check my auction. I am selling a SMSL M500 (MK1) DAC & headphone amp. Compare to the later versions of the device, it does not have Bluetooth input. It does have a second optical input. If you win, you will receive the DAC, the remote, a USB A cable, and the power cable. I do not have the original box. I have included some detailed pictures of the DAC, please check them carefully. It works and looks perfectly. I mainly used it in my office as DAC (no smoking, good power supply). I found some highlights of the DAC from the web. Under the hood of M500The more I delve deeper and research about it, the more I am impressed and I am questioning myself how did they put so many tech inside such a small body.First of all, M500 uses the top-of-the-line and desktop class ES9038 PRO DAC chip, it is among the best commercial made DAC chip on the market. To let the DAC section breathe and work at normal parameters, SMSL incorporated the ES9311 high-performance power supply voltage regulators that actually were developed to work in tandem with ES9038 PRO to squeeze the best of it. It is a low-noise, low-dropout regulator specifically designed for high-performance audio systems.I consider its USB input as being its best sounding digital input, adopting the newest XMOS XU-216 the M500 never lost a beat or its connection and it sounds absolutely great on the USB input. This particular USB receiver supports PCM material up to 32 bit / 768 kHz and can natively decode DSD up to DSD512, via DoP it will do only DSD64, even coaxial and optical inputs will play DSD64 files.What is kind of unique to M500, especially at the price of $399 is the inclusion of a full-MQA decoder, I am not talking about an MQA Renderer like Audioquest implemented in their Dragonfly Red and Cobalt units, I am talking about a full blown MQA Decoder.Its internal headphone amp circuit was developed using discrete components, I was assured it has enough current even for power hungry headphones so the damping factor should be always high. In terms of power M500 will deliver up to 570mW into 32 Ohms and 65mW into 300 Ohm loads.M500 also has an independent headphone and preamp volume control, you can use one or another.Last but not least SMSL developed its own ultra-low noise power supply encapsulated inside a metal shell, it is basically shielded away from analog circuitry for the best results.Supports MQA decoding;The top performance D/A chip ES9038PRO from ESS Technology;The high-performance power supply chip ES9311, the noise of ES9311 is as low as 1uVrms, to push ES9038PRO to the limit;XMOS XU-216, true 32bit audio processing, supports DoP and Native DSD, and reaches 32bit/768kHz and DSD512;Ultra-low phase noise and optimized clock processing circuit are used to achieve ultra-low clock jitter;All inputs support DSD streaming, including coaxial and optical (DoP64);Independent headphone volume design, does not interfere with the preamp volume;Special design of discrete components high current headphones amplifier for higher damping factor;Use tempered glass display panel for higher light transmission and longer service life;Built-in shielded, low noise power supply processing, while improving power efficiency, lower power consumption;High quality gold-plated input and output jacks;3 high-end dual op-amps LME49720 and a lot of audio grade components are used;2.19 inch LG TFT LCD display;JAS Hi-Res certification;Equipped with remote control and full-function remote control.I am selling it because I have upgraded my DAC. I will pack it with great care. ************************************************************************************************************************************IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AUCTION: Payment must be received within 7 days after the close of auction.
