AK4493S Dual DAC
The core of the SMSL D-6, its digital-to-analog conversion stage, contains two AKM AK4493S DAC chips. These offer excellent performance with ultra-low distortion and a wide dynamic range, up to 123 dB.
XMOS USB Interface and High-Quality Components
The dual AKM DAC is supported by a second-generation XMOS high-end USB receiver chip. This enables the D-6 to decode high-resolution audio streams up to 32bit 768kHz PCM and native DSD512. Furthermore, the combination of AK4493S DACs and this USB interface ensures precise and detailed audio reproduction.
Of course, the D-6 does not limit itself to this combination, but also includes a CK-03 clock module for very low jitter and a high-performance filtered power supply stage.
Bluetooth 5.1
SMSL has equipped the D-6 with the latest Qualcomm QCC5125 chip, which offers high-resolution Bluetooth 5.1 reception with support for aptX HD and LDAC codecs.
Complete connection
The D-6 is equipped with a comprehensive connectivity that allows integration into most audio systems. In addition to Bluetooth connectivity, the D-6 offers USB-C, coaxial and optical Toslink. For outputs, the D-6 offers unbalanced stereo RCA as well as a balanced output via a Jack 6.35mm TRS.
