    I've just found out that SMSL also has the D12 amp/dac, which uses the same dac chip as the C100, has a relatively low powered amp, and gets rid of the optical and coaxial inputs. At $170, it's priced in between the C100 and C200.

    I tested both SMSL c100 and their new cheaper and simpler SU-1 DAC in my system. I returned the c100, the SU-1 just sounded much better, even though they had the same AKM chip.

      Thank you for the reply. I was just wondering if I should return the SU-1 and get the C100 for the remote. I use the dac for my TV / WIIM / Videostreamer, dont want to get off the couch everytime I switch. Seems like SU-1 is the way to go.

    First
    I think the first rule of chifi is: if you can think of it, wait long enough and it'll appear on the market.
    I've been waiting for a device like this at this price for 3 years, glad it came out now

      Do you mean you hear electrical noise from the computer? The C100 should be better but I can't guarantee it. You could also consider the Topping HS02.

    • @PrimeAudioReviews
      @PrimeAudioReviews  5 місяців тому

      You'd have to use an RCA splitter. It's probably not the best solution. Better to get something with 2.1.

      @@PrimeAudioReviews could i not run usb c to my pc and than rca to rca for the dac and the amp?
      And the subwoofer qeustion was because it had coax on the back for a powerd sub
      Because i thought that a dac is just for giving signal to a powerd subwoofer
      Apologies if thats a stupid question im pretty new to hifi gear

      Well dx1 if you want a headphone amp obviously. C100 if you want Bluetooth and/or mqa

    how it compares to FX Audio Dac-m1

    • @PrimeAudioReviews
      @PrimeAudioReviews  Рік тому +1

      Pretty similar in sound but the c100 is slightly more neutral where dac m1 has more body. Dac m1 also has headphones output making it more versatile.

    If it has MQA, it doesn't exist.
