Non-smoking, non-vaping, no pets, no kids home. My AV rack is in the HEPA filtered room.
A solid desktop DAC goes a long way toward bringing convenient, high-quality audio to bear for your speaker and headphone outputs—and when there’s solid Bluetooth functionality on tap it brings things to a new level. The SMSL D-6 is a DAC perfect for those who want unyielding audiophile performance.
SMSL has DSD Direct implemented in chip on this DAC, quite rare to have that in this price range. DSD sounds simply magical on this DAC.
The AKM AK4493S chip provides an insanely low 0.00011% total harmonic distortion, while delivering resolutions up to 768 kilohertz at 32 bits, with full DSD512 support direct natively via Pre-mode. The ultra-low-noise Japanese clocks ensure that there’s very little unwanted jitter to introduce artifacts, and that attention to detail is carried through to the beautifully designed anodized CNC-machined enclosure. Of course, it’s the Bluetooth performance—supported by the QCC512 chip—that offers excellent transmission and full support for premium codecs like Qualcomm aptX HD and LDAC. You can control it all with the handsome machined knob on the front or with the included remote control.
