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

This design feature allows you to have complete control over the desired volume according to your listening preferences.

STABLE PERFORMANCE WITH ULTRA-LOW JITTER CLOCK SYSTEM

The SMSL D300 has been embedded with an ultra-low jitter clock system that offers stable and artefact free audio. The D300 utilises a brand new CK-03 clock signal processing circuit. This circuit provides an ultra-low jitter for all the inputs including USB, Coaxial, Optical and Bluetooth. This effectively improves the output signal quality from the DAC bringing you close to true & pure sound output. Unlike many DACs, which reserve the best clocking for the USB input, the D300’s CK-03 clock processing circuit ensures ultra-low jitter across all inputs.

You cannot turn off the music!

Wow! What a DAC! I went with this DAC over SMSL SU-9U, SU-9U Pro, Topping E70 Velvet, E70. Of course, there was no way to listen to it before buying, so most of the reading was online, looking up YouTube, and help from Ian Pereira of HFZ.

I was looking for a DAC with the right amount of detail + warmth at the same time. Pairing it with a Rega Brio and Wharfedale Lintons, and boy I am truly impressed.

I listen to all kinds of songs, from Blues, Country, Pop, Jazz, 70s and 80s rock, some of the new stuff too! Close your eyes, and you can feel the artist/band in your room! It is that good!

It just makes you want to listen to the music - on and on. I am sure this is to do with the implementation of the flagship RoHM BD34301EKV chipset. If you like to listen to music - and looking for a very good DAC at this budget and beyond, buy it!

If you are looking just for impact from the first few notes of a song and impress your friends, maybe something else!

The chassis, some say (online) is a bit flimsy, but I find it fair enough - to keep the prices down. This DAC is a keeper!

Very natural & accurate sounding DAC

This is one of the rare DACs with natural / organic sound, accurate sounding with all the details / nuances without any harshness or sibilance. I would consider this as the best DAC under 50K at the moment in the market.

Hey there, nothing makes us happier than knowing you loved your purchase, hope you had a comfortable shopping experience and thank you for the great review and ratings!
