EXPERIENCE HI-RES MUSIC WIRED OR WIRELESSLY WITH USB AND BLUETOOTH COMPATIBILITY
With the advent of wireless technology, it is natural that people tend to prefer wireless systems over wired ones. It is just a fact that wireless technology has grown by leaps and bounds. Considering these aspects, SMSL has introduced Bluetooth streaming in C200 with Bluetooth 5.0 support. This Bluetooth 5.0 receiver module hosts a new Qualcomm QCC5125 chip, which supports the high-quality transmission codecs LDAC, aptX HD, aptX, AAC and SBC, a technology that automatically finds the best combination of quality and stability. This architecture makes it possible to adjust the data rate depending on how well the transmitter and receiver are connected. For you to experience music using a wired connection, SMSL has incorporated a 2nd generation XMOS chip. The 2nd generation XMOS chip supports DoP64 (DSD Over PCM) and native DSD512 (Direct Stream Digital), and PCM supports up to 32bit/768kHz.
NOTE:
Input ports (except Bluetooth) support DSD transmission.
