It also offers several additional features, such as four equalization modes and bass and treble controls, allowing you to tailor the sound to your preferences. In terms of connectivity, it is not to be outdone, with several digital inputs (USB-C, Toslink optical, coaxial), as well as an RCA line output and two headphone outputs: 3.5mm single-ended jack and 4.4mm balanced jack. This set of connections is completed by a 3.5mm MIC input, perfect for a gaming setup. Specially designed for headphone listening, the SMSL R1 has an output power of up to 500mW under 32 ohms.
The ES9018K2M DAC chip inside the SMSL R1 enable it to perform high-quality digital-to-analog conversion. In addition, its amplifier stage allows it to drive IEMs or headphones with an impedance of 32 to 600 ohms. In fact, it delivers up to 120mW under 32Ω.
Additional features such as 4 equalization modes allow you to sculpt the sound. Three faders also allow you to adjust the microphone volume or bass and treble tones from -9dB to +9dB.
On the front panel, there are three faders, an input level indicator, and a vintage potentiometer for headphone volume control. All of these elements combine to create a sleek, retro look that SMSL R1 users are sure to love.
