DAC Chip
You may not even realise it, but most of us use a digital-to-analogue converter (commonly known as a DAC) daily. Built into your computers, tablets and smartphones, a DAC is fundamental to unlocking the convenience of digital music. Any device that acts as a digital sound source will need a DAC to convert digital audio to analog. A DAC converts the digital information stored in “0s and 1s” into an analog signal that's passed to speakers or headphones and ultimately our ear. In short, DACs play a large part in making digital music hearable.While this technical process is undoubtedly impressive, the DAC embedded into your smartphones or laptops is nowhere good enough to listen to your favourite music recordings in high quality. So, if you want to listen to music in high quality, an external DAC is essential to allow headphones or speakers to perform at their potential. An external DAC, first and foremost, will improve audio quality dramatically.
Pair with Laptop via USB
A majority of people use a laptop as the primary source device to listen to music or watch movies. Since the laptop is an essential part of the audio chain there are headphones and devices designed to work a laptop or computer system flawlessly. With the availability of USB connectivity, it becomes easier to pair various devices like an Amp, DAC or even headphones without worrying about drivers or any additional piece of software.

Volume Controls
If your DAC & Amps include volume controls or volume rockers, you can easily change the volume with a button press or volume knob turn.
DAC & Amps that have volume controls make its operation incredibly simple; turn up the volume on your smartphone or your source devices and then change the volume on DAC & Amps to the desired level.
This design feature allows you to have complete control over the desired volume according to your listening preferences.

C200 TAKES YOUR GAMING EXPERIENCE TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL WITH PS4, PS5 AND XBOX SUPPORT
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.
