This is a phenomenal DAC/AMP that does basically everything you could expect from a much more expensive device -- and does so with prowess. Sound is crisp, controlled, dynamic, harmonious, and wide. There is this unyielding thrust in the way the DL200 drives all my devices. It pairs masterfully with my Edifier MR4 through the balanced TRS outputs, which are virtually unheard of at this price point. Actually, I cannot recommend this pairing enough for a desktop setup -- the DL200 + the MR4, that is. It is just out of this world what you get by combining both devices, particularly considering the price.I also own the SMSL SU-1, which has (fairly) received raving reviews everywhere, and I have A/B-compared it to the DL200. I have also A/B-compared the DL200 via regular RCA and TRS outputs. To my ears, the SU-1 sounds grainy and tiny in comparison, cannot hold a candle to the DL200. There is also a good difference between the DL200 in RCA and TRS modes, the latter being significanly better. So, if you do buy the DL200, make sure to have active speakers with TRS inputs to make the most out of it.On the headphones front, the DL200's 4.4 jack is actually unbalanced. What that means here, however, unlike in other DACs where the unbalanced output is not as good as the balanced one, is that the 6.35 jack will function just as well as the 4.4. And function they do! The DL200 is able to imprint a full sound to my headphones that I cannot get from any of the other DACs I own, including my FiiO BTR7 with THX amplifiers. You end up having more possibilities of connection without needing to worry about differences in quality between the headphone jacks. I have a 6.35 to 3.5mm adapter tightly connected to the 6.35mm jack and that makes my life so much easier in switching between headphones.Note: where people refer to clicks/pops in sample rate changes between tracks (like from 48kHz to 192kHz) as a quality-control issue -- a 'quirk' -- affecting the DL200, please ignore. I must say such clicks/pops are not only something extremely minor, but are also common behaviour between virtually all of my other DACs. This is nothing that will affect your experience with the DL200 -- a purchase that I promise you won't regret.

Bought this for my dad to hook up his computer and amplifier. He was listening to music with his PC. This brought out the potential of hi-res music for him. I compared with my own $400 Cambridge DacMagic 200. This is equally good, and it has a remote control. Great value, great sound. The only complaint is the user manual document isn't very well written.

Things move fast right now with new products being released all the time. But as of writing this, the DL200 represents a fantastic value in terms a dacs. Love the features, it is a very competent dac for this price and the fact it come with such a good headphone amp is just the cherry on top. My only minor complaint is that I would have preferred XLR balanced outputs instead of the TRS balanced outputs. But it would have made it bigger and its so affordable I don't mind. If you are looking for a Dac to feed into and amp/powered speakers or a headphone amp, or better yet both, feel confident in this one.

When I first got this I really liked it. I received it on 7/20/2024. The headphone amp quit working on 9/06/2024 and the only reason I purchased it is was to listen with my headphones so now it’s pretty much useless. With all of the good reviews I saw on this product, I really expected it to work longer than 2 and a half months and with only a 30 day return policy, I don’t think I can recommend this product. It’s a shame too, I thought it sounded exceptional for the price but I guess sometimes you get what you pay for with these more budget priced electronics.The seller reached out to me and gave me a full refund so I'm extremely satisfied. I've purchased another prouct from them and am hoping that I will have better luck this time around. Added 2 stars to my review because of the seller.

this replaced an FX-Audio dac-x6mkii. sound quality is night and day. hooked to my beyerdynamic dt770 pro headphones, I can't even nitpick a complaint. The fx-audio headphone amp may have been slightly more powerful, but nowhere near as clean. compared to my internal soundcard on my PC, both dacs are worlds better, But the SMSL has a very clear edge.

I ordered this to replace the one that was supposed to be here in two days..... it took a week but they sure took my money. I had to get the credit card company involved to get my money back on this - it stopped working a couple of hours into using it. By at your own risk. This company is a scam company.

I was very sceptical about the reviews but what the heck, I gave it a go. Bought in the Black Friday Sales at a reasonable price. I wanted to test it out on a piece of classical music. Respighi's Festival of Rome final movement has several layers of orchestration with multiple instruments playing at the same time. What I was hoping for was sound stage and separation but it's a very demanding piece for a DAC. I was so happy and amazed. This magical box of tricks coped so well. The sound was so smooth, rounded but bulky. Plenty of excitement and detail as well. I will be keeping this DAC for now and looking forward to more extended playing.

Lo uso per pilotare una cuffia AKG K712 pro. Secondo me, sui suoni digitali, in purezza supera preamplificatori di fascia alta e altissima che costano 20 volte tanto. Ho collegato all'ingresso digitale coassiale un lettore Blu-ray e tramite bluetooth altre periferiche (principalmente un tablet) e con un piccolo monitor da 11" ho realizzato il mio centro HiFi da comodino.

Con un buen precio un gran aparato, me ha mejorado la escucha de música notablemente.

Remote requires quite accurate pointing to dl200, distance is not problem. At least approx from 5 meters tested.Dl-200 itself works without any problems. Setting up was very easy process. Small minus is, that dimming of lcd could be more efficient. Even at lowest value, it is bit too bright (you can turn it complately off).I am using this as "preamp".
