SMSL D10

The SMSL D10 is a high-performance, portable headphone amplifier/DAC. It is based on the use of two Cirrus Logic CS43131 chips, enabling it to support sampling rates up to PCM 32-bit 384 kHz and DSD256. These chips also provide significant headphone amplification, with an output power of up to 500 mW @ 32 ohms and a dynamic range of 121 dB.

Regarding the D10's connectivity interface, it includes the essentials: a USB-C input and two headphone outputs—a 3.5 mm jack and a balanced 4.4 mm jack. Despite its affordable price, SMSL has also given the D10 a minimalist, high-end design with transparent circuitry.
