The SMSL M300 is a powerful and compact DAC in an atypical format. Integrating high quality components, it is the perfect ally to offer your HiFi audio system a digital-to-analog converter capable of reproducing your audio files with both a beautiful transparency and an astonishing sound richness.

AK4497 DAC & High-end components

The M300 is equipped with an AK4497EQ high-end DAC chip from AKM. The latter supports high sampling rates, in PCM up to 32bit 768kHz and in DSD up to DSD512. In addition, the chip uses the proprietary Velvet Sound architecture allowing it to provide a high SNR (128dB) and very low distortion (THD+N -116dB) for neutral and accurate reproduction, with a beautiful sound image.

This chip is combined with many quality components such as a second-generation XMOS USB interface, two ultra-low phase noise Japanese NDK clocks to significantly limit jitter on 44.1kHz / 48kHz and multiple frequencies, and finally a series of resistors and capacitors specially designed for audio use.
