{"product_id":"smsl-c200","title":"SMSL C200 DAC \u0026 Headphone Amp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe SMSL C200 combines a DAC and headphone amplifier around an ESS ES9038Q2M converter, handling DSD512 and PCM to 32bit\/768kHz, with a balanced TRS output and Bluetooth on board. It's one of the more complete compact desktop boxes SMSL makes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe balanced TRS output is the reason to pick it over simpler all-in-ones: if your headphones are terminated balanced, or you're willing to recable or adapt, you get a differential output stage from a unit this size. Bluetooth covers casual phone listening, USB covers the computer, and the whole thing occupies about as much desk as a paperback. Good first serious desktop setup, and it stays useful as a DAC-only source if you later add a bigger amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eESS ES9038Q2M DAC chip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDSD512 and 32bit\/768kHz PCM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced TRS headphone output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SMSL","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":45377062436999,"sku":"SMSL C200-black","price":233.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/5833\/0247\/files\/7574762831.jpg?v=1785503026","url":"https:\/\/tonepier.com\/products\/smsl-c200","provider":"TonePier","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
