SMSL D400ES ES9039MSPRO DAC

The D400 ES from SMSL is a truly next-level desktop DAC that comes with a host of certifications and plenty of high-end componentry under the hood. No bigger than a standard paperback novel, this feature-loaded DAC is controlled by a top-tier, third-generation XMOS XU316 processor capable of handling DSD 512 and up to 32-bit, 768-kilohertz in conversion resolution. Speaking of conversation, the new flagship ESS ES9039MSPRO runs the show, and thanks to built-in MQA hard decoding, you can breathe all-new life into your mixes—bringing them that much closer to the high-end studio fidelity in which they were recorded. Rounding out the componentry, you’ll find an eight-channel, dual-op amp parallel circuitry design with a CK-03 clock processing circuit to reduce jitter, as well as a high-end Qualcomm Bluetooth chip. It’s all packed into a top-quality aluminum alloy housing complete with a bright LED display and intuitively clear controls on the front to ensure you always know what’s happening while you’re listening.
