Review: Excellent. - Im using this as a preamp for my home stereo for 50/50 movies/music. The DAC powers on and resumes function with AC power on/off if you would like to put it on a smart plug. The audio quality is excellent not just by my ear but also when measured by audiophile reviewers. LDAC bluetooth works great with my galaxy s10 and quality sounds good. AAC bluetooth from iphones also works well and sounds good. I do have the bluetooth antenna behind the TV and reception is poor when compared to other setups I have run, but it is sufficient. One thing to note when connected to bluetooth and starting the first song or hitting play after a long pause the audio will skip and stutter for the first second. Skipping songs works fine. It does appear as if the firmware can be updated, Im hopeful that SMSL will provide a fix for this in the future. Im running optical in from my TV and RCA out to a pair of Crown XLS amps. A 1502 drives a pair of bookshelf speakers and a MiniDSP 2x4 controls a 2502 that is driving a single 18" stereo integrity HTv.3 subwoofer. The remote feels nice and works well. The IR group changed from other SMSL models and the desertcart firestick does not have an IR group that will control power and volume of this DAC yet.
Review: Sounds great, but not for long. - I have bought this unit multiple times. It works great for me as a pre-amp and DAC playing music via Bluetooth. My 1st unit lasted about a year before it started crackling. The second unit did the same thing after 6 months or so. I am unable to get support or to get this resolved with SMSL. The DAC will work fine and out of the blue will start breaking up, playing crackle noises and popping. The volume will stop working despite the numbers changing on the unit's display. There is obviously some kind of design or component flaw here, and it seems to happen once the unit plays for a few hours, maybe related to temperature. Anyway, I just purchased my 3rd unit in hopes that it will work longer than a few months, but that's doubtful at best especially based on what others have said in their reviews.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ quick service, good packaging, excellent value
*by L***. on July 12, 2022*

I'm using this product to get digital audio from my computer via USB, or from my tv using optical toslink, and both work great. I was a little surprised that Apple TV didn't support USB output, but has to go to the tv by HTML then to the dac via toslink. the unit was a little smaller than I pictured, and I like that it has an internal power supply and everything is controllable via the remote. I had to back off the phase lock loop from best (1) to (3) to maintain glitchless audio on toslink. I like the choice of various phase lock look and filter settings. 5 for the quality, especially given the price.
