The SMSL VMV D2R is a Hi-Res desktop DAC built on the ROHM BD34301EKV converter, with Bluetooth on board for convenience. Aimed at wired critical listening, it suits listeners who know ESS-based DACs and want a different implementation feeding a balanced headphone amp or a power amp.
Who the SMSL VMV D2R is for
Listeners coming from ESS DACs: The ROHM BD34301EKV converter gives you a genuinely different implementation to hear.
Balanced headphone rigs: Run it into a balanced headphone amplifier for wired critical listening.
Power-amp systems: A power amp driving speakers is the other natural partner.
Occasional wireless listening: Bluetooth is on board for the times you want convenience over a cable.
Skip it if: most of your listening will be over Bluetooth; the D2R is a component bought for wired critical listening.

SMSL VMV D2R vs similar options
vs SMSL SU-X: SMSL's SU-line flagship runs dual ESS ES9039MSPRO chips with DSD512, MQA and Bluetooth 5.1, and it costs more; choose the D2R if you want a ROHM converter rather than another ESS design.
vs SMSL D400 Pro: Pairs an AK4191 modulator with an AK4499EX converter behind an XMOS XU316, and it costs less; choose the D2R if the ROHM BD34301EKV chip is the reason you're shopping.
