Sampling Rate And Bit Depth
Ever wonder how those ones and zeros on your computer magically transform into the rich melodies that fill your room?
The secret lies in a tiny device called a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). Think of it as a translator, taking the digital code of your music and meticulously sculpting it back into a smooth, analog wave that your speakers can understand. But just like a sculptor needs the right tools, achieving audio nirvana with a DAC depends on two key factors: sampling rate and bit depth.
Sampling Rate:
Imagine your favourite song as a complex rollercoaster track. The sampling rate refers to how often the DAC takes measurements of this digital track, measured in kHz (kilohertz) or thousands of times per second. A higher sampling rate, like 96 kHz, is like taking a ton of pictures of the track, capturing every twist and turn with incredible detail. Lower rates, like the standard 44.1 kHz used in CDs, are like taking snapshots at a theme park – fun, but you might miss some of the subtler details that make the ride truly exhilarating.
Bit Depth:
Now, think about the sculptor's tools. Bit depth refers to the precision of each measurement the DAC takes. Imagine the number of colours available to the sculptor. With higher bit depth (e.g., 24 bits compared to 16 bits), each measurement can capture a wider range of values. This allows the DAC to recreate subtler variations in the sound wave, resulting in richer and more nuanced audio. It's like having a broader colour palette for building a more detailed and lifelike sculpture of the sound.

The SMSL C200 supports USB1.1/2.0 connections allowing all USB devices to be connected without drivers. The C200 supports the connection of various game consoles, such as XBOX, PS4, and PS5. Experience gaming like never before with easy compatibility with PS4/PS5 and XBOX. USB1.1 only supports up to 24bit/96kHz; however, USB2.0 supports high-standard sampling rates. The SMSL C200 also hosts a built-in discrete component linear power supply and multiple low-noise power supplies for analogue circuits. The integrated linear power supply delivers precise and clean power and is free from signal interference. The C200 also has an audio clock processing circuit that reduces clock jitter delivering audio free of any jitter or distortions.
NOTE:
With USB2.0, you will have to install a driver when connecting to a windows system.
MINIMALISTIC DESIGN WITH THOUGHTFUL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS AND BUNDLED WITH A FUNCTIONAL REMOTE
The SMSL C200 is a compact device with a minimalistic design constructed with a CNC-integrated milling process. The C200 is simple and stylish, suitable for desktop use. The front panel hosts a large volume knob in the centre, with the two jack outputs to its left 6.35mm unbalanced and 4.4mm balanced, and a display on the right-hand side. The rear panel hosts the power connector, a Bluetooth antenna connector for Bluetooth connectivity, and optical, USB and coaxial input ports. It also has RCA and TRS 6.35mm jack high-quality gold-plated outputs. The volume knob is a click wheel with discrete steps that give you tactile feedback as you rotate the knob. It has a nice weight to it, too, so it’s easy to adjust the volume with precision. The unit also comes with a fully functional remote. You can control the SMSL C200 using the remote, which makes things more convenient. It has the following buttons: power, up, down, left, right, enter, input, FN (used to switch outputs and, when long pressed, to set the screen, to automatically switch off), mute, raise and reduce volume.
