The SMSL PO100 PRO is a USB DDC (digital-to-digital converter) built on XMOS's XU316: USB-C in, up to 32-bit/768kHz PCM and native DSD512 out over LVDS I2S, and 24-bit/192kHz over coaxial or optical. It's for owners of a DAC with an I2S input or a dated USB receiver who want a bus-powered, 75g digital bridge.

Who the SMSL PO100 PRO is for

  • DACs with an I2S input: Its LVDS I2S output on an HDMI-type socket carries the full 32-bit/768kHz PCM and native DSD512 range, and an I2S MODE switch selects between two pin assignments.
  • Older DACs with a dated USB input: Keep the analog stage you like and let the XU316 handle USB, feeding the DAC over coaxial or optical at up to 24-bit/192kHz, with DSD64 via DoP.
  • PS5 and Nintendo Switch: Set the UAC switch to UAC1, which takes effect after a restart, and SMSL lists both consoles as supported sources.
  • Phones, tablets and laptops: It runs on 5V/100mA of USB bus power, and SMSL lists macOS 10.6+, Linux (driverless), Android and iOS as compatible; Windows 7 to 11 needs SMSL's driver.
  • Skip it if: you need analog output: it has no DAC or headphone jack, so it only works in front of a DAC, receiver or amp with a digital input.

SMSL PO100 PRO vs similar options

  • vs Douk Audio U2 PRO: Same XU316 chip and I2S/coaxial/optical outputs, but its 24MHz oscillator can be replaced by soldering; pick it to experiment with clocks, or the PO100 PRO for 75g versus 220g.
