Review on 🎧 SMSL M500 DAC Headphone Amplifier MQA Decoding Audio Decoder LME4972 ES9038PRO DSD512 768kHz XMOS XU-216 with Remote Control - Black by Jason Graham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing value for money

Absolute value for money. Walk through a stream of Tidal in Master mode. Worth every penny. The amp is strong enough for HiFi Man sailors, doesn't sweat at all at half volume (full streaming from PC via USB). The M500 simply adapts to the new bitrate/resolution instantly. Couldn't be happier with a shared attitude. Of course the sound is neutral, not as warm as a tube amp per se, but for the money you won't find anything better. In my case I use an adapter.

Pros
  • β™« LOW NOISE DAC: Built-in low-noise shielded processor that improves energy efficiency and reduces power consumption. When using the M500 for the first time, press the "C" key.
Cons
  • No performance
