About this deal

FiiO launched the K5Pro ( AKMversion) 3 years ago, in August 2019, and at the time it was in high demand. Being an all-in-one and relatively compact device, it was highly appreciated by audiophiles. This year, FiiO updated the K5Pro ( ESSversion) and released it with a new DAC and a new MCU. You can access our review via this link. We liked the K5Pro, but I personally expected a more major update over the old K5Pro, in terms of both design and features. FiiO has done just that with the K7, and the fact that they didn’t introduce a price increase is quite impressive! In light of all this, I think it’s not hard to foresee that the K7 will have an important place in FiiO’s desktop line-up. Measuring 12 x 16.8 x 5.5 centimetres, we can say that the K7 is “compact” for an all-in-one device. Let’s take a closer look at what FiiO has changed and improved with the K7. Customers are to bear the consequences and fees incurred, if the parcel was undelivered due to any of the following situation: At the front face there are the two headphone outputs, a 6.35mm and a 4.4mm one which is just for utility since the headphone amplifier is single ended.

If it is plastic sealed when you get it, it should remain plastic sealed. Some types of goods such as CIEMs and custom cables cannot be returned. Accidents, abuse, misuse, improper installation, problems with electrical power, acts of third parties. If you have a dime to spare, please donate, and help us! It would make the day brighter for me and my wife-The C200 is quite musical and engaging but you shouldn't be expecting an organic and analog like sound signature with a very colorful tone palette. On the other side of the business, the pair of RCA outputs SMSL installed to the C100 are gold-plated and high quality. It will push out 2Vrms and a dynamic range of 121dB. I got the SMSL C200 DAC just the other day. I found it very easy to set up and get operating. To spite the fact that it has a very primitive display, I still had no issue navigating the inputs and options, without reading the instruction manual, and I have never had a seperate outboard DAC before.

You can also use the C100 to stream Bluetooth, though it seems limited to AAC and not the higher rez AptX/LDAC; it sounded clean and lively, though not as full-bodied or detailed as the Bluetooth from the SU-6 or (esp.) the SU-9, which do have the more advanced codecs.Damage due to user negligence, accidents, disassembly, waterlog, misuse, abuse, alterations or vandalism. The SMSL C200 is based on the ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC chip. It appears like just one DAC chip is used, which would make the C200 incapable of “true” balanced audio – which would require two DACs to process the signal in parallel. On the other hand, though, amplification is managed by four OPA1612A chips, which are able to output an overall 2.6 W of power – quite a large amount for a device this small. Sound

The SMSL C200 is an ultra compact device, measuring just 139x32x147.5mm, so it will fit virtually everywhere. We listened to more songs than those named in this playlist, but those are excellent for identifying a sonic signature. I recommend trying most of the songs from this playlist, especially if you’re searching for new music! The playlists are different for Spotify, Tidal and Youtube, and based on the songs I enjoy and are available on each!SMSL C200 DAC】C200 is ESS high-end D/A chip ES9038Q2M; 4 x high-end dual OP amp OPA1612 and a large number of audio grade components; Bluetooth5.1 chip support receiving LDAC , 24bit/96kHz, APTX/HD, SBC, AAC. Starting with the front of C200, we have two headphone outputs, one in the 4.4mm format, and one in the 6.3mm Single Ended format. We also have a digital volume controller, and a tiny display to help you navigate and set the volume on C200. The DAC inside is an ES9038Q2M Chip, which is a pretty popular and well-known choice, while the AMP is composed of 4 OPA1612A Chips, providing a sonic output you might have heard in other desktop DAC/AMPs in the entry-level price range, such as FiiO K5 PRO.

Without a doubt, the Sundara is a great match for the C200. The sound is so organic and engaging yet highly resolving and scoring strong on technicalities. It really feels like a complete system. There’s no flabbiness in the bass and the scale of dynamics is nothing short of grand. Soundstage and Technicalities Trading some of the conveniences of the C200, the C100 is alternatively given MQA functionality which is made obvious by the printed logo below the seven-segment display. The logo itself doesn’t light up so there is a dedicated indicator on the side. USB INPUT Support Game console connection】: ♫ U1.1 mode: All USB devices can be connected without driver. It supports the connection the XBOX, PS4, PS5, etc. USB1.1 only supports up to 24bit/96kHz. ♫ U2.0 mode: USB2.0 needs driver with WIN system. The 2nd generation XMOS solution supports DoP64 and native DSD512,and PCM supports up to 32bit/768kHz; The display on the Aoshida Audio SMSL C200 is small but sharper than the SMSL DO100, and very 1980’s looking. It gets the job done but I have to admit I was initially befuddled when “L O” and “H O” were not gain settings but were Line Out vs Headphone Out, oops read the manual.They are also part of the World Wide Hearing organization so a portion of every headphone sale goes toward helping a child hear. Without any moving parts at all, the C100 is a solid unit that can sit comfortably anywhere. Removing extras from its bigger brother, the missing volume knob and balanced outputs have led to the insignificant footprint of the C100. Non l ho collegato al pc ma per l uso che ne faccio io posso dire che è un apparecchio davvero azzeccato che mi permette il controllo del volume senza perdere di dinamica anche a basso ascolto e taratura personalizzate per l ambiente e le eventuali elettroniche associate. Ho tutti i controlli in flat e non manca proprio niente.
