Why it Sounds Amazing

Sampling Rate And Bit Depth

Ever wonder how those ones and zeros on your computer magically transform into the rich melodies that fill your room?


The secret lies in a tiny device called a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). Think of it as a translator, taking the digital code of your music and meticulously sculpting it back into a smooth, analog wave that your speakers can understand. But just like a sculptor needs the right tools, achieving audio nirvana with a DAC depends on two key factors: sampling rate and bit depth.


Sampling Rate:

Imagine your favourite song as a complex rollercoaster track. The sampling rate refers to how often the DAC takes measurements of this digital track, measured in kHz (kilohertz) or thousands of times per second. A higher sampling rate, like 96 kHz, is like taking a ton of pictures of the track, capturing every twist and turn with incredible detail. Lower rates, like the standard 44.1 kHz used in CDs, are like taking snapshots at a theme park – fun, but you might miss some of the subtler details that make the ride truly exhilarating.


Bit Depth:

Now, think about the sculptor's tools. Bit depth refers to the precision of each measurement the DAC takes. Imagine the number of colours available to the sculptor. With higher bit depth (e.g., 24 bits compared to 16 bits), each measurement can capture a wider range of values. This allows the DAC to recreate subtler variations in the sound wave, resulting in richer and more nuanced audio. It's like having a broader colour palette for building a more detailed and lifelike sculpture of the sound.

Most cost effective way to get I2S!

This small yet power packed wonder is amazing at what it does. You get optical, SPDIF and IIS outs all in one package! Definitely a step up from my previous Douk audio U2. I can hear the transients sound better and hence the resolution is a bit higher. No issues with mac/ios compatibility whatsoever.
The build quality is immensely better than U2 and for those who still cling to MQA in 2024, this is a great way to add full MQA unfolding to your dacs.

Hi there! Thank you for leaving this amazing review for the S.M.S.L - PO100 Pro. We are thrilled to hear that this product has exceeded your expectations and that you are enjoying the improved sound quality. Happy listening!

Mean little music machine

I bought this after experiencing the sound of coaxial output from my old DAP, a Fiio X3 III. It fed to a SMSL D6 - a twin AKM chip DAC, to a zen can signature amp. The sound it produced was like nothing I had heard through USB on that DAC. Gone were the ugly glares, it was a vivid yet unobtrusive glorious wall of sound, One can get lost into it without having to pay attention to every note, as it happens through USB. It is the sound what I thought of as HiFi.



When I saw the PO100, A few things interested me. It reclocks the signal, so jitter should not be an issue. And I get all kind of digital outputs to feed to my DAC. It came and the sound was smooth and uninspiring. I was a little miffed and played with all my DAC filters to get a bit of that old magic back that I remembered happening with my DAP digital output. Never could I have imagined this little piece of electronics also required burn in! It played for half a week and boy the sound has improved or what! The moment I start playing I forget work. It is one wonderful visceral yet smooth music machine. 

It does magic to my cheap DAC and makes it sound like 6 times the price. My Senn IE200 sounds like a full blown large stereo. A must buy in my books. If you are unhappy with that ‘digital sound’ of your dac, try this is all I can say.

Hey there, Thanks a lot for your detailed and genuine feedback, we're glad that you have such positive thoughts about the product. It'll also help our fellow customers to make the right choice! Keep the music playing.
