Two Way Speaker

A two-way loudspeaker has two speakers in it, each meant to present a frequency selection, usually high and low. A two-way speaker has two types of drivers which are known as a woofer and tweeter. The advantages of a two-way speaker are that it requires a simple crossover, small and compact and requires low amplification power. The performance of the music is relatively focused and balanced with low distortion. The general bookshelf speakers are two-way speakers.
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.

Excellent desktop amplifier

Bought this from headphone zone as I wanted a decent amplifier with balanced inputs and a sub out. Very difficult to get these features in this price range. Connected it to a Topping E70 DAC, USB audio from my computer and subwoofer duty was a PSB Micro subwoofer. Using Mission QXC M2 speakers and half volume can be heard across the street...Thanks Headphone Zone.

Hey Sanjay, thank you for the amazing review and we are glad that you are enjoying it! Keep the music playing.

High-Fidelity DAC at an Affordable Price

This DAC unquestionably falls within the realm of high-fidelity and even ventures into the high-end category due to its exceptional sound quality. The audio it produces is characterized by its cleanliness, precision, and speed, without any harshness. As a result, it offers an astonishingly broad soundstage that extends far and, more significantly, delivers pinpoint accuracy, especially when paired with my full-range driver speaker setup.

I must emphasize that the choice between balanced and unbalanced inputs has a profound impact on this DAC’s soundstage, accuracy, overall audio quality, and listening experience. I firmly believe that this compact DAC truly shines when coupled with high-quality components, particularly DACs or input sources equipped with balanced outputs, allowing it to reach its full potential.

In addition to its sound performance, the build quality of this DAC is commendable and robust. Personally, I find the display to be quite bright, and you have the flexibility to adjust its brightness. The Bluetooth connection functions flawlessly without any interruptions. To be fair, in all fairness, I find myself satisfied with this DAC's overall build quality and craftsmanship, particularly when taking into account its price point.

The sole drawback I experienced relates to the remote control. It could have been improved as it is notably thin and lacks backlighting.

If your primary consideration when selecting audio equipment is sound quality, I wholeheartedly endorse this S.M.S.L DA-9. Its sound quality greatly surpasses its other attributes and the price point at which it is offered.

Thanks a lot for your detailed and genuine feedback, we're glad that you have such positive thoughts about the product and we'll share your thoughts with the brand as well. It'll also help our fellow customers to make the right choice!
