Review on 🎢 S.M.S.L Sanskrit 10th MKII AK4493 HiFi USB Native DSD256 Decoder: Ultimate Audio Quality in Black by Victor Rodriguez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic DAC for eliminating "jitter ". Works as advertised!

Playing my Dead & Company radio station (which I created using algorithms and artificial intelligence) on Pandora through a Sony BDPS7200 Dual Core 3D 4K Blu-ray player with Wi-Fi (2014 model). Connected to SMSL Sanskrit 10th MKII AK4493 HiFi 768kHz 32bit XMOS USB Native DSD256 Decoder (Black) DAC with M Series 75ohm Monster Cable Coax. The DAC connects to the Arcam AVR 380 via Monster Cable THX 1000 analog connections.CD QUALITY FOR FREE! But the most important. I used to experience significant "juddering" when watching 3D movies. I connected my Arcam BD300 to a Sony KDL-55HX850 3D TV using a Monster Cable M2000 HDMI cable. The TV was connected to the Arcam receiver using a Monster Cable M-Series optical cable, as was the Arcam Blu-ray player (along with Monster Cable's THX 1000 analog connections, which now use the Sanskrit DAC are connected). I bought it for less than $100 and am very happy with the sound quality (I compare the sound quality with Topping D30 DAC, FiiO Taishan DAC and internal Wolfson DACs in Arcam Blu-ray players and Arcam receivers). . The board leaves a lot to be desired. But I can easily live with that. Thank you for your time and patience.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Frequency
