    Frankly technology today is way ahead to come out something as simple straightforward yet powerful as this SMSL C100, it just no people willing to do it without high profit, glad that SMSL did it, again I still think a DAC has no sound until you do the analog op-amp stage, which make sound starting to be "physical". The sharp sound at high volume you experiencing is the main reason people jump into HiFi rabbit hole :P, infinite hunt of preamp!!!

      SMSL from the products that I have heard seem to do a decent job for what you pay for. For car audio their best product is cheap and it’s the SMSL PO 100 Pro and if someone is looking for a digital connection to their DSP it does a great job. I know Amir test quite a few SMSL products and they always seem to do great on the bench tests but that never tells you how the products sound. We all know that everyone’s sound pallet is different but I just find for the most part once you get to a certain level the sound signature is just different not necessarily better.

    Hey man love your videos and learning from your knowledge.Question with using android s23 phone with Tidal do you think that this piece would sound better than topping d10s? Im using coax into helix .3S dsp btw? Thanks!

    • @CarAudioHorizons
      @CarAudioHorizons  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, but you could try the SMSL PO100 Pro and compare them going coaxial digital out. I reviewed them at different times but never compared them side by side. They’re both great products especially for the price.

      Thanks Dude!, I Really appreciate it,I ordered smsl P0100 pro from Amazon using the 10% code link.Will let you know but have a feelin coax will sound best quality wise right? 👌 in your opinion when tuning helix dsp.3s will rew/rta tune sound much better than auto tune will you think?

    In my car i have one android headunit with spdif output and bypass the cheap internal Dac.
    In your opinion, is it a good idea to use the C100 as a DAC and use its analog outputs to enter in my car amplifier?

      @@CarAudioHorizons my headunit ave a dsp inside. My idea is Heaunit digital output (spdif or toslink) > inside the c100 dac on digital input (spdif or toslink) > analog output of dac > analog input amplifier (audison lrx 5.1k)

    Hello great video. Can you tell me any clue about how to reset the C100? Been working great and today had no sound. Any help appreciated.

      I haven’t seen any reset for the SMSL C100. You would have to reach out to SMSL.

      Yes, you just put it on whatever Bluetooth your device has and it will show up under your Bluetooth connections on your phone/DAP

    I have the smsl dr12, su-1 and a topping e30ii...when playing mqa i get sample rate switching on UAPP. the bitrate switches throughout the song and cuts the audio when swtiching. Any idea how to fix this?

    Smsl su-1 didn't have remote. ☹️

    • @CarAudioHorizons

      That must be one of the few SMSL products that doesn’t come with a remote. The unit itself should be pretty much identical to the C100.
