Dang it.

We hate being the bearers of bad news, but the SMSL M200 DAC has reached its end of life. Luckily, we have a great alternative for you. Check out the SMSL DA-9 Bluetooth 5.0 DAC.

 

The SMSL M200 DAC is the high resolution bluetooth companion DAC for the SMSL SP200 THX Headphone Amp. The M200 and SP200 together complete a great sounding sound system from SMSL. This DAC uses the AK4497EQ D/A chip from Japanese chip maker AKM to produce a performance that is top tier for the price.

The M200 is Bluetooth 5.0 compatible, has a second generation XMOS chip, and comes with a high performance audio clock system. It has a PCM sampling rate of 32 bit/ 768 kHz and supports DSD 512 native playback. Finally, the M200 comes with six digital filter modes and includes a remote control for comfortable use.
