Bon son avec les enceintes qui vont avec
Mon trs vieux kit logitech 5.1 x540 ne fonctionnait plus, et je n’avais besoin que de bon hauts parleurs afin d’couter la musique sur PC. J’ai donc achet des Klipsch R-41M passives qui dureront dans le temps, couples ce “mini ampli”. On le branche sur USB (le cble fourni est trs court), on branche les enceintes dessus, et tout fonctionne du premier coup sous Windows 10.
Plusieurs galiseurs sont prprogramms dans le SMSL SA300, mais on peut jouer manuellement sur les treble et bass. On peut changer la couleur d’affichage de l’cran. Le connexion Bluetooth fonctionne bien.
Au final je suis trs satisfait, le son est bon, aucun souffle audible dans les enceintes pendant les silences.
Big sound, Small package.
Smaller than expected, but it has plenty of power. DAC sounds great running Tidal hi-fi direct from USB. Running a pair of Polk RT55i bookshelves in my work setup. HUUUGE upgrade from the lepai amp that was previously running them. Bass and mids are fuller, highs come through with much more clarity and precision. Recommend for anyone neededing a full featured all in one amp/DAC where space is a concern.
Also the remote is a nice touch!
Seller provided a great service
The seller provided a great service. A fault occurred when the remote control hand set did not work. When contacting the Seller with the problem I received a replacement remote control within three days. However, the replacement remote control failed to work also. The conclusion made was that the Amp unit was at fault. Contacting the Seller again I was asked to ship the faulty unit back to their warehouse in London. Within three days I received a replacement. That Amp and the remote control worked fine from the get go. So, after some hassle I am pleased with my purchase and the Seller’s staff worked efficiently to resolve the issue in very good time.
Acquisto consigliato
Ho acquistato SMSL SA300 per integrarlo nel mio impianto hi-fi e collegarlo ai diffusori Polk che supportano il bi-amping. Devo dire che sono molto soddisfatto del risultato, l’impianto ci guadagna in quantit e qualit ,complimenti SMSL.
I purchased this for my laptop and iPad. Couldn't be happier. Tried bluetooth powered speakers first but disappointed w the lack of bass. Then I thought about a pair of unused tiny Mirage speakers and powered subwoofer. Extremely pleased. Pairs great. This thing is small. Looks great on the desk.

Great AMP for the money
I use the SMSL SA300 to listen to music at my office (about 13m^2), mostly while I sit at my desk. The source is my desktop Computer plugged to a TOPPING E30 DAC. I use it with a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze 2.
I appear to have received the later version o the AMP (with ROCK spelled correctly). It is more than capable of driving my speakers, and I really like the fact that the music is intelligible and enjoyable at really low levels.
While the internal DAC is convinient, it is not as good as my external DAC. I do not like the sound from the BT connection at all, but I presume that this is a general BT issue rather that the amp itself.
I would have preferred a cheaper version without the sub-out, the internal DAC and without the BT connectivity.
Other than that:
– the form factor, while it is actually smaller that what I was expecting (which is good), I would like it more if it was of similar dimension like their older SA-50 amp.
– the display that stays always on. I can imagine that a future software update could enable turning off/on the display e.g. via the remote as well as when there is some interaction with the volume dial or power/input button.
Solides Gerä
Ich habe das Gert am Arbeitsplatz im Zusammenspiel mit kleinen Boxen von Piega im Einsatz. Bluetooth und USB funktionieren einwandfrei. Kann ich fr diesen Einsatzbereich klar empfehlen.
Winzig aber fähig
Ich habe den SA300 als Ersatz fr einen technisch veralteten Pioneer-Receiver aus einer Micro-Stereoanlage gekauft, da mir Streaming mit HD-Audio ber Bluetooth mittlerweile am wichtigsten ist.
Das Gert ist sehr sauber verarbeitet, die Anschlsse qualitativ hochwertig. Batterien fr die Fernbedienung liegen nicht bei, die Kabellngen von und zum Netzteil sind etwas seltsam, etwas mehr Lnge auf der Niedrigspannungsseite htte nicht geschadet, bei mir hngt der Kasten nun in der Schwebe zwischen Steckdose und Verstrker.
Ursprnglich sollten die bestehenden Regalboxen weiter verwendet werden, waren klanglich aber nicht wirklich gut, da der alte Receiver wohl darauf abgestimmt war, deren Schwchen im Frequenzspektrum zu kompensieren. Ich habe deshalb zunchst die akustisch soliden Polk T15 Regalboxen nachgekauft (die gibt es fter mal unter 100 Euro das Paar). Damit klingt das System schon recht ordentlich, es fehlt aber das Bassfundament bis ca. 120 Hz (die Physik lsst sich bei kleinen Lautsprechervolumen nicht beschummeln). Dafr kam dann ein Auna Linie 501 aktiver Sub dazu, der den SW-Out des SA300 als Signalquelle benutzt.
Die Kombination klingt sehr gut, wobei der Subwoofer eigentlich deutlich berdimensioniert ist (aber es in der Preisklasse nichts annhernd so Gutes mit weniger Bums gibt, ca. 135 Euro).
Insgesamt ein empfehlenswertes Herzstck fr ein klanglich berzeugendes 2.1-System, das wenig Platz einnimmt und Rume mittlerer Gre souvern bespielen kann.
Very much recommended, It sounds fantastic with my little Sonys. I have lots of audio equipment and I like this little guy. Not much warmth with this unit. Very quiet (when it should be) , nice clean highs and nice clean and clear bass too. I feared the bass would be lacking and I was totally wrong. The midrange sounds OK. This is great for my bedroom. Despite the good bass output I easily hooked up a new 12" subwoofer which handles 40hz and downwards. I really like the setup.

Fantastic sound
I bought this to replace my 35yr old Technic Amplifier/Receiver that has been doing a sterling job of sound amplification for my computer for the last 20yrs. I’d been considering a new amplifier for a few years now, and when I recieved 100GBP of Amazon vouchers for xmas, my mind was made up.
The SA300 amplifier sound is so much better than the old amp, there is just no comparison. I’m no Audiophile, but even I can hear nuances in the music that I’d never heard before. The sound is a lot more ‘wholesome’
I have my laptop connected to the USB input of the SA300, which, to my tone deaf ears, seems to give slightly better sound than using the RCA inputs. I’ve tried the bluetooth input, and I can confirm it works well, but thats not really what I purchased the SA300 for.
Slight noise from my speakers with nothing playing at max volume when my ear is 100mm away from the speaker (but this could easily be the 25yr old speakers), but nothing to worry about. I’m not a fan of quiet music, so I don’t expect it to ever bother me.
I’m happy I made the right decision buying this amp. It fits nicely into my computer setup and does sound really great.
Need replacement glass. Amp is awesome! . My fault glass broke. Customer service is awesome with the SMSL factory direct store through amazon... just can't attach pictures to Amazon message to seller. or maybe I'm an idiot...

This gives a very clean and crisp sound. In fact, at first, I thought it was broken as nothing happened when I plugged in my speakers. Zero static and background noise. Finally when I realized I had the volume on my source set to zero I slowly turn it up and heard a huge difference from my old receiver to this unit. Flac has never sounded better than with this built-in USB dac. Going digital as much as I can have really changed how I listen to music. The size is what makes this great too. I literally have zero princes in my room. No big clunky setup. Visitors can't believe the quality and they always ask where is your music coming from.

sound clear and amazing.
only $179 very happy with the purchase. sound so clear and amazing.
forget the optical input, instead o with DAC and Bluetooth 5.0.
Good enough for use
Great little amp. No complaints apart from the low end frequency needs a little more tuning. I found the bass struggling to define notes and a little slow whilst unable to grab differing octaves resulting in a bit of a mushy sound especially listening to Electro where bass tones come fast and plentiful.
Bluetooth is fine and the usb is clean and as a connection it is accurate. I like the micro usb connection a lot. Its very convenient for my Chromebook using Amazon HD and Tune-in radio apps. I bought a couple of slightly more expensive USB C to Micro USB cables from Lindy UK because the connection is worth it, great overall sound quality!
Its a very well built unit and the display is rich with features and sharp in appearance. The display does lack the option to turn off completely which would be a great feature to have to add to an already efficient amp in regards to power consumption and screen life.
I would happily replace a large, bulky receiver/amp like the Marantz PM6006 with something like the SA300 just for the form factor but until that low end frequency is better tuned in the SA300 or next model down the line then replacing even my Denon DM-41 wont happen, at least not quite yet.
Keep it up SMSL and I hope you will nail that low end soon!
In the meantime apart from my own endeavour for audio perfection I do have to say that this really is as other reviews say a great little amp and probably best in class and certainly the best for value for money.
Update: The more i use this amp the more i like it. Ive found the EQ section to be very versatile and accommodating to all kinds of speakers. For example I use a pair of Cambridge Audio SX60s occasionally and they are not the clearest sounding speaker but the SDB setting in the EQ really helps the speaker produce a clearer overall sound. I also use a pair of Tannoy Eclipse 3 which are not the purest speaker as far as tonality is concerned but again the SA300 can accommodate such shortcomings quite well via the EQ. I find this very beneficial and something alot of amplifiers simply do not do. This is a big plus for anyone with budget or high end speakers. When something like this can be produced and give the sound quality that the SA300 delivers it makes me wonder if the UK hifi industry has been caught with their pants down!
S.M.S.L SA300
Vraiment stupfait de la qualit sonore et gnral de ce DAC. Branch via mon ordinateur par Bluetooth et mes enceintes Pioneer HPM-100. Rsultat sonore de haute qualit et trs puissant. Dpasse vritablement mes esprances.
Arrivato in tempo record, la consegna era prevista a circa 30 giorni (dalla Cina), ma il pacco arrivato in 6 giorni. Subito collegato, ha sostituito i miei amplificatori, non voglio dare pareri sulla qualit del suono, non mi ritengo un audiofilo, ma questa scatoletta da delle grandi soddisfazioni, alzando il volume al massimo, fruscio inesistente, chiarezza e definizione dell’audio, impeccabile, non riscalda, non ingombra, se collegato ad un buon Dac potrete ascoltare musica per ore senza stancare l’udito. Sono molto soddisfatto dell’acquisto.
Far better than I expected!
I did not honestly think this little amp would be able to drive my Elac Debut B6 speakers. They sound just great, but they need a good quality signal. I have them connected to a vacuum tube preamp and a digital to analog converter. I use Tidal Master quality streaming service, too. They sound great and can get really loud.
My setup:
External sound card: Creative Soundblaster X Fi HD connected to my laptop.
Digital to Analog converter: S.M.S.L. M100
Vacuum preamplifier: FX-AUDIO TUBE-03 (with GE JAN 5654 Tubes)
2-channel amplifier: S.M.S.L. SR300
Speakers: Elac Debut B6
Subwoofer amplifier: Nobsound NS-03G
Subwoofer: rescued from an old Sony Home Theater (Tz 140) – It gives the Elacs just that extra punch I wanted!
Der Verstrker spielt sehr sauber und bei Bedarf auch sehr laut und sehr sauber. Bluetooth Reichweite und Sound sind sehr gut. Windows zeigt hier 44kHz/16bit an. Der eingebaute USB DAC ist natrlich klanglich besser als die BT Verbindung aber der BT sound ist nur etwas ‘flacher’ wie die direkte Verbindung per USB oder analog (cinch) , also imho durchaus hrbar auch fr anspruchsvolle Hrer (wenn es denn sein muss). Einen ‘high-end’ Vergleich von dem internen DAC mit einem ‘high-end’ externen DAC kann ich momentan leider nicht bieten, bin mir aber recht sicher das wir hier bestenfalls ber die letzten 10% des machbaren reden. Der USB DAC kann bis zu 384KHz hochsamplen. Habs noch nicht probiert, bei mir steht es momentan auf 44KHz (was die Samplerate des Groteils meiner Musik ist) und 32bit. Man kann den DAC brigens auch ohne Asio Treiber bei relativ geringer Latenz betrieben ohne das es zum Audio GAU kommt. Meine Tracktion DAW spielt bei ‘Windows Sound Treiber’ und 5ms/44KHz noch gut mit. Hab ich so vorher auch noch nicht gesehen…
Normalerweise benutz ich EQ Profile und die Klangregelung in solchen Gerten nicht. Da ich meine Speaker leider in dem kleinen Raum nicht optimal aufstellen kann und diese eh sehr Bass schwach sind, ist ein guter EQ eigentlich hilfreich. Bisher hab den graphischen EQ in meinem XR-18 Mischpult verwendet um das zu begradigen. Die EQ presets im SA300 sind recht dezent und knnen in solchen Fllen gut helfen. Probiert es ruhig mal aus! Nun kann ich Musik auch ohne den XR-18 geniesen der mal gerade so ppige 30W verschlingt. Den Verbrauch vom SA300 hab ich gemessen. Das Netzteil allein braucht so ~0.8W im Leerlauf. Bei eingeschaltetem, SA300 sind es insgesamt 1.5-2W im Leerlauf. Dh heisst bei 365/24 Betrieb ca 17kWh/Jahr. Der Verbrauch geht erst ber die 2W ‘Rauschgrenze’ wenn es laut wird. Ich meine hier deutlich lauter als Gesprchslautstrke wenn ihr nah bei dem Speaker seid. Irgendwann sollte er dann die 2*80W=160W aus dem Netz ziehen, was ich aber aus Gesundheitsgrnden in meinem kleinen Raum nicht getestet hab.
I have been very surprised by this product. To start with, I was shocked at how small it is. Unlike many Chinese products, it is truly beatifully made. Its finish is immaculate and it comes with a good quality responsive remote.
I did not purchase this as a primary Hi-Fi amplifier, but again I have been very surprised by the audio quality. I use very sensitive speakers (Klipsch 100dB/W) and even with these, the amp is totally silent – no buzz or hiss. The audio quality is detailed and clean with good bass. Is it the last word in Hi-Fi? No, but I doubt you would find better for its price. I should say that I haven’t yet tried the USB input, so can’t comment on that. Highly recommended. Additional: Since I wrote the review above, I have discovered a major software issue with the amp. If you press mute, when you try to unmute the unit produces no audio. You have to re-select the input to get audio back. This is annoying.
Using this to play music from my iPhone and iPad. Sounds great! Very easy to set up, and easy to tweak treble and bass if you need to. Has plenty of power for the type of listening I'm doing in the room where I have it. Good range on the BlueTooth. All in all, a very nicely designed and manufactured device. Very compact. A good value at the price, too.

Audio nitido y buena potencia
Es una excelente opcin para un espacio pequeo a mediano. No mete ruido, me sorprendi. Combinado con unos altavoces de buena calidad hace maravillas.
Pequeño amplificador muy recomendable
Quera sustituir un pequeo amplificador lepay lp2020+ y creo que he acertado.
Tiene una respuesta ms profunda y completa sin contar con la potencia de sobra.
Como todos los clases de no se calienta en absoluto. yo no necesitaba ni bluetooth ni mando a distancia pero el mando reconozco que es muy til.
Impressionante
Straordinario prodotto, qualit prezzo eccezionale. Ideale per un piccolo impianto secondario o per amplificare la TV.
Lo compr basado en la resea de Zeos (Z Reviews) y aunque no lo necesitaba, porque ya tengo varios amplificadores para todos los espacios de mi casa, es verdad lo que dice Zeos, es absolutamente impresionante este amplificador. Supuestamente todo se debe al nuevo chip alemn que trae. Lo compar con el Topping Mx3 y el PA3 y los supera por mucho, potencia y calidad. Lo escuch en mi escritorio con un Topping D10 y despus con un SMSL Sanskrit 10 MkII y qued impresionado. Despus lo conect a la Tv por medio del Sanskrit, con unas bocinas Klipsch R41M y un bajo Klipsch Sw10, para un sistema 2.1. Y qued asombrado, no le pide nada a un sistema 5.1 de un AVR mucho ms caro. Una joya. Verdadero HiFi de bajo costo. Lo recomiendo completamente.
Affordably convenie
Bluetooth works great-ish,
no line in for 3.5mm without an RCA adapter,
uses micro USB in,
SUB OUT,
sounds great,
fairly powerful for the price,
size of a gerbel,
nice remote.
I bought this to replace my current chinese made class D amp. I wasnt expecting a big difference in the sound quality. However once hooked up I was presented with a massive improvement in sound quality.
The SMSL SA300 amplifier feels and appears to be built very well. The unit is small and looks sleek. Controls and menu is nice and easy to operate.
I have this amp hooked up alongside the Topping E30 DAC, Douk Audio P1 tube Pre Amp and using Denon entry level speakers.
The most significant improvement is detail and clarity. The sound stage is nice and big. The low frequencies are nice. Bass is adequate. I use a DIY subwoofer and that range is covered nicely. The mids and vocals are very nice. Female voices are clear and there is no shrill or the dreaded ‘ssss’ sound that I had on some tracks using the previous amp. The higher frequencies are right there and plentiful. Instruments such as flutes/sax etc sound amazing. You can hear the timbre of the notes on different instruments. Every little detail is present. I was hearing new stuff on old songs or tracks. I was honestly smiling away when I heard the calibre of sound coming out my speakers. There is layers to the sound image – I just didnt expect this level of quality sound. SMSL have done really well here.
You will not regret this purchase. I would rate this as the best class D amp out there in its price.
J’ai achet cet ampli pour mes KLIPSCH R-14M
https://www.amazon.fr/Klipsch-R-14M-Haut-Parleur-Noir-Hauts-parleurs/dp/B00MGQAH2M/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=3GXEEXVD4E16Y&dchild=1&keywords=klipsch+r-14m&qid=1606228971&sprefix=klipsch+r-14%2Caps%2C160&sr=8-1
J’ai d’abord test avec ma platine vinyle et j’ai agrablement t surpris par le rendu. Le son est clair est parfaitement rendu.
J’ai ensuite test le bluetooth et il est vrai que la qualit c’est pas moche mais on sent qu’il manque quelque chose.
J’ai enfin test en connectant l’ampli en USB et lisant un fichier FLAC. La j’ai tout simplement entendu des sons sur un morceau que je connais bien que je n’avais jamais entendu.
Je recommande ce petit ampli sans hsiter qui veut passer le pas vers un ampli numrique.
Trs bon achat et comme toujours le service Amazon et la rapidit de livraison.
Does exactly what it says, and does it well.
Sounds great. Bluetooth connection to my PC or phone works perfectly. I use the line-in input to connect to my TV, and that works very well too. The Sub output is connected to an old REL Stata III.
No problems at all so far, after a couple of months.
My only gripe would be that the screen brightness cannot be adjusted.
Excellent HiFi AMP, in such a small package.
I’m quite an audiophile, and I like to use Hifi bookshelfs for my PC audio, but I don’t have much space on my desk, this is definitly a desktop king in terms of small amplifiers, high RMS out, good clarity, simple to use controls and remote. Only potential downfall is no 3.5 or 6.35mm Jack for heaphone output.
Within expectation this is a great little amp
Obviously this is no replacement for a full on 3/400+ amplifier however as a little dude that runs my office he rocks. Definitely goes plenty loud enough. Sound is clean, solid and warm. Good selection of inputs and great unit size overall.
Great little amp, used this to replace a nuptime ida-6 that died after a year. Using this with Kef LS50s which are typically hard to drive. This amp can drive them with no distortion or clipping and there's no noticeable difference in audio quality between the amps. Only grip is the front is glossy.

Nice color stays cool even when pushing it. Its next to impossible to find something this powerful and good quality at this price. Smsl you have out done your self.

Auf der Suche nach einem Verstrker mit integriertem DAC fr mein Arbeitszimmer (ca. 12qm) bin ich zufllig auf den S.M.S.L. SA300 gestoen. Anfangs war ich skeptisch ob ein 140 China-Verstrker wirklich etwas taugt, der SA300 hat mich eines Besseren belehrt. Der Verstrker ist klein, also wirklich klein, von der Grundflche so gro wie mein Mi9 Smartphone. Der Verstrker wurde von meinem Windows PC sofort erkannt (Plug&Play) und wird mit zwei Klipsch RP-400M Bookshelf Speakern betrieben. Der Sound ist so klar und definiert, dass ich das Grinsen gar nicht mehr aus dem Gesicht bekommen habe. Dieser kleine Ziegelstein zaubert einen so klaren und krftigen Sound, es ist fast nicht zu glauben. Die Bluetooth 5.0 Kopplung klappt ebenfalls problemlos und auch hier ist die Soundqualitt top.
Strgerusche oder hnliches gibt es absolut keine.
Einen nicht so schwerwiegenden Nachteil gibt es dennoch, das Display ist leider immer an. Wenigstens lsst sich die Farbe in eine weniger penetrante Farbe (z.B. Rot auf Schwarz) ndern.
Wer fr ein kleines bis mittelgroes Zimmer einen Verstrker mit DAC sucht, macht mit dem SA300 definitiv nichts falsch.
Update 20.11.2020
Leider ist bereits nach einer Woche das Netzteil abgeraucht, wir haben zwar ein Ersatzgert bekommen, dennoch trbt das den positiven Eindruck etwas, daher ein Stern Abzug.
Great little amplifier - incorporated it into a bar!
Was looking for a good quality compact amp that supported line in and bluetooth that I could integrate into a bar. Coupled with a raspberry pi 4 with Innomaker DAC hat running Volumio and a pair of speakers of eBay this works brilliantly! Have embedded the amp into the woodwork along with a touchscreen display to control Volumio and you have (in my opinion) a better solution than Sonos for a quarter of the price.
Pretty amazing little amp. Good enough for Most people's setups. Plays fairly loud and clean. I wanted to do a Comparison between my 400 watts/channel class A mono blocks. It's not close to that level, but for the price, I could listen for a while and be happy. For a garage or background setup, this is perfect. I currently have running my outdoor speakers and it does what I wa

Great little amplifier, great sound quality. I haven't had the amplifier long, so I can't comment on the longevity of the internal electronics, however it appears to be well constructed externally. Time will tell whether the electronics hold up (I come from the age of class AB amplifiers from the 90s that were built like tanks), but so far I'm very very happy with my purchase. The only thing, and it goes on a wish list rather than being a failing of the product, is that I wish it had double the power or better.

Can't complain. I have it paired with the M100, and the pair gets the job done. It's compact, the settings are easy to read, and it's powerful for it's size. Only downside is the remote. It works when it wants and there were no instructions attached.

Nice product that actually has more going for it than the product description shows. One thing in particular was that it had separate base and treble controls (which it does). That was indicated in the description but not clearly stated. Has a nice size (not too small or large). I use it to connect my Mac Mini to some 4 ohm JVC wood cone speakers via blue tooth. It handles that nicely.

Buen sonido con distintos altavoces
Buen sonido sin zumbidos. Fcil uso, sin aumento de temperatura.
Buena relacin calidad precio.
There is nothing too say bad about this amp except if this amp had 160 wpc it would be the best selling amp on the market. people hear this amp thru my cerwin vega re 38,s and they think it,s my carver 1.5 amp thats not even turned on. sound quality is out standing !!!

It is really small. Like the length and width of your cellphone. The power brick is almost as big as the unit. So far, it does what it says it does. Paired with 1 phone, no issues. Line-in, no issues. Manual is useless. Time will tell.....

Sono troppo esigente, un ottimo amplificatore, versatile, economico, potente, gestisce anche diffusori difficili ma poco musicale, alti enfatizzati, non morbidi. Lo consiglierei a chi ascolta musica semplice o ritmata, poich eroga potenza con ottimo controllo degli speaker, ma le voci e strumenti acustici o elettrici non sono restituiti correttamente. Anche i piatti di una batteria possono essere lame nell’orecchio. Ascoltato con vari speaker, principalmente Klipsch heresy e jbl 4313b.
Necesitaba un amplificador con cierta potencia para alimentar unos Dal Zensor Pico (recomiendan un amplificador de al menos 40w a 6 ohm) y me decid por este modelo por sus buenos comentarios y no me equivoqu.
Para empezar, su aspecto es esttico, robusto se mire por donde se mire y ms pequeo de lo que me imaginaba.
Su rendimiento, nada que envidiar en cuanto a calidad a un Yamaha RX-V 1700 que hace 11 aos me cost 1200
No tiene nada que ver con amplificadores de coste parecido o poco inferior. Ya solo al encenderlo o cambiar de entrada ya se nota que est pensado para tratar a los altavoces con mimo. Nunca pega “petardazo” y mete el volumen de forma progresiva.
La fuente de alimentacin es externa, lo que simplifica su sustitucin en caso de avera. Es de 24v y 6,75A con lo que da 162w. Suficiente para los 80w por canal que promete.
Ni el ampli ni la fuente de alimentacin se calientan apenas con el uso.
Tiene opciones de ecualizacin (ms de las que voy a necesitar) y cambio de color de pantalla. Lo tengo en ecualizacin directa y suena con una definicin increble en todo el rango de frecuencias. Pensaba utilizar la salida de subwoofer, pero despus de escuchar este conjunto estoy pensando en ahorrarme el gasto. (Creo que haba desestimado a estos altavoces por su respuesta de bajos de 62 Hz)
El nivel de ruido es inapreciable por no decir nulo. Con el volumen al 60 (el mximo) no se oye nada de ruido blanco ni por su entrada USB, ni por Bluetooth. S que se oye a partir de 40 cuando lo conecto por la entrada de linea RCA, pero s que es del cable, que no es de buena calidad, porque en cuanto desconecto el cable RCA del ampli, el ruido desaparece por completo incluso al 60.
El nivel de volumen es ms que suficiente, aunque por la entrada USB te exige subirlo 10 15 puntos ms.
Por Bluetooth, la salida es bastante ms alta, de buena calidad y sin cortes. Adems el Bluetooth solo est activo cuando est seleccionada esa entrada.
La entrada de lnea tiene todava un poco ms de salida que el Bluetooth por lo que te pedir bajarle un poco el volumen, aunque la diferencia entre estas 2 entradas es bastante poca.
Me gusta escuchar la msica alta y por RCA, lo ms alto que lo he puesto ha sido al 35. Por encima ya me parece excesivo.
Si buscis otra opcin similar pero con salida de cascos y entrada ptica podra interesaros el Sabaj A4. Yo lo encontr despus, pero estoy tan contento con este modelo que ya no lo cambio.
Actually better than expected
Running my wharfedale diamond 220s without any issues and with room to spare. Way better than my old 80’s pioneer amp that I was using previously. Would recommend for a semi budget system.
Wow, where to start. First off, don’t let this little unknown brand fool you at all. It runs CIRCLES around the little cheap amps you can get on here and other places. The sound quality is better than my 15yr old $3,500 Integra AVR. I exclusively use this SMSL amp for my computer with Tidal Hi-Fi and my audiophile friends are green with envy and amazed. If you’re reading this and still wonder if you should pick it up, what are you waiting for? Doooo it, do it nooooowww (in the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger)
S.M.S.L SA300 HiFi Digital Amplifier is very nice indeed. This very small package provides a fine audio experience, and the power supply is properly sized for the amplifier. It is a good value and I am pleased to have it.

Works great, decided to keep it for my kids room. Used it as a backup for my klipsch rp-160m bookshelf it sounded good but if volume is to hight for hight powered speakers it will shutoff. Loud enough for most people, just not me.

Plenty of clean power and features in a great form facto
Using the SA300 to drive a pair of Micca RB42 in a nearfield setup. This amp has more than enough power for nearfield listening, I’d even say enough to drive these speakers to their limit (at least until port chuffing becomes noticeable) and these are the RB42s are not efficient in the slightest.
The feature set is great too, bluetooth does not have any latency between playing/pausing (important for me when listening to podcasts, it’s annoying when a bluetooth device needs to ‘wake up’ after being paused and you miss 1-2 seconds of dialogue).
Front panel is clean an have a premium look/feel. I only wish that the volume knob was not notched, however, the increments are small which is nice and it does feel very solid.
Overall I’d definitely recommend this for a budget stereo setup.
Ich hhre jetzt seit einer Stunde Musik verschiedener Richtungen durcheinander (auch bei durchaus gehobener Lautstrke), kling fr meine Ohren 1A, absolut nicht wie China-Billig. 140 ist ja auch nicht billig aber stand jetzt jeden Cent wert.
Maximallautstrke ist zusammen mit meinen Speaker Box(en) 5 mehr als genug. Hab den Amp in meinem Arbeitszimmer noch nicht voll aufgedreht, zu laut.
Dabei kommen die Details auch bei hoher Lautsrke klar und sauber rber, irgendwelche audiophile Umschreibungen gibt es von mir grundsetzlich nicht, aber ich wei schon was gut klingt. Kein Vergleich zu dem billigen Nobsound TPA3116.
Genutzt wird hauptschlich der USB-DAC mit 32-Bit 384 kHz, nicht das ich behaupten wrde, dass man 32-Bit und 384 kHz jetzt raushhren wrde. Kein Rauschen bei Stille und auch 0 Strgerusche.
Gleiches gilt fr Bluetooth, wobei ich jetzt nicht sicher herausfinden kann, ob APTX wirklich verwendet wird. Reichweite durch eine gemauerte Wand geht vllig problemlos, bei zwei Wnden und diagonal durch die Wohnung wird es eng. Koppeln funktioniert einfach und vllig problemlos, Quelle war ein Samsung Galaxy S7.
Analoge Inputs gehen auch, mangels guter Quelle kann ich nur sagen, dass man die Strgerusche meiner Onboard-Soundkarte gut hhren kann, wenn man die Lautsrke etwas hher einstellt.
Bezglich Bedienung ist alles in Ordnung. Das Design des Displayinhaltes gewinnt jetzt keinen Preis, ist aber solide und ich konnte noch keine groben Fehler entdecken. Lediglich “usb in” htte ich “USB In” oder “USB IN” geschrieben. Die Fernbedienung hat soweit ich es herausgefunden habe nur Mute als Zusatzfunktion, alles Andere lsst sich bequem und einfach ber den Drehknopf und Input-Taste auch direkt am Gert bedienen. Zwei AAA Batterien muss man selber besorgen.
Gewhlte Einstellungen bleiben auch erhalten, wenn der SA300 im eingeschaltetn Zustand hart vom Strom getrennt wird (z.B. per geschalteter Steckdosenleiste). Es geht ansatzlos da weiter wo man ihn ausgeschaltet hat, Knacken oder Pop-Gersche gibt es zu keinem Zeitpunkt.
Verarbeitung ist hervorragendund, wrde auch einem Gert fr den 5-Fachen Preis gut zu Gesicht stehen. Spaltmae sind einwandfrei und die Frontplatte scheint auch aus Aluminium zu bestehen, mit einer richtigen Glasplatte als Einlage. Lediglich die Lautsprecheranschlsse sind die gleichen wie bei dem Nobsound, nicht richtig schlecht, gehen mit 4mm Bananas problemlos und sind vergoldet, aber Lautspecherkabel mit hherem Querschnitt wrde ich da nicht so reinfummeln wollen.
Ich hab die schwarze Version gekauft, dazu passt imho die weie Displayeinstellung am Besten. Helligkeit ist fr meine Broumgebung vllig in Ordnung, kann aber durchaus nachvollziehen, dass man in einem gedimmten Wohnzimmer das Display gerne etwas dunkler htte.
Ein Micro-USB-Kabel liegt bei, dass dies wei ist fllt etwas aus dem Rahmen und etwas lnger htte es zum Anschluss an den PC auch sein drfen.
Das mitgelieferte Netzteil ist fr chinesische Verhltnisse in Ordnung. Ist fr die angegebene Leistung nicht viel zu leicht und es sind neben dem CE-Zeichen noch viele weitere Zertifiziereungen drauf (FCC, GS), dazu gibt es Leistungsdaten, eine Modellbezeichnung und Schutzklasse 2 ist auch angegeben. Kaltgertekabel mit Schuko-Stecker und ein zweites fr UK (mit eingebauter 13A-Sicherung und korrekter Schutzisolation der Kontakte) sind dabei. Kann man also benutzen, ob es die Prfzeichen zu Recht trgt, kann ich natrlich nicht beurteilen.
Ich habe den S.M.S.L SA300 heute den ersten Tag im Betrieb, sollte sich das Gert als unzuverlssig herausstellen, gibt es hier ein Update.
Great little AMP
I use it for powering my Wharefedale Linton Heritage and i prever this amp over a yamaha i also tested, becouse the sound signature, not becouse the yamaha isnt good.
So if you need a good amp and your on little budget, this is the way to go.
My gear: SMSL Sanskrit 10th dac – SMSL SA300 – Wharefedale Linton Heritage.
Angenehm überrascht.
Ich habe den kleinen Verstrker mit einer gewissen Vorsicht bestellt, bin aber sehr angenehm berrascht worden. Ich betreibe zwei 40 Jahre alte Braun-Lautsprecher an der kleinen Kiste und bin von der Leistungsfhigkeit beeindruckt. Das Gert ist sauber verarbeitet, rauschfrei und fllt selbst auf dem Schreibtisch kaum auf. Der USB-Eingang ist mit meinem Laptop verbunden und das Gert wird von Win10 als Audioausgabegert sofort erkannt und erffner neue Mglichkeiten. Die Mglichkeit, die Displayfarbe zu ndern ist ein nettes Gimmick und die Leuchtkraft ist bei den den blauen Tnen angnehm gedmpft und strt auch im dunklen Zimmer nicht. Einziges Manko: Das Gert wurde werksseitig mit einem asiatischen Netzstecker ausgeliefert. Ein passendes Kaltgerte-Anschlusskabel mit Schutzkontakt-Stecker CEE 7/7 auf C13 Buchse, welches in das Netzteil passt, hatte ich Gottseidank zuhause.
Extraordinaire 👍
coute musique en stro. Si vous ne voulez pas dpenser une fortune et avoir un super son c’est l’article acheter. J’ai deux tours Fluance et a les conduit sans problmes. Il y a des sons que j’entend sur mes CD que je n’entendais pas sur d’autres amplificateur que je possde. N’attendez pas acheter maintenant a vaut le prix.
The physical size is deceiving
A very good amp for its size and price. After running it in for a few days, the sound is precise and crisp. In my case, it sounds best without a sub as there’s no crossover adjustments available and seems to suffer from clarity when attached to one.
The tiny and clean look makes it very suitable for a desktop amp. And in my testing, playing through USB from my pc does sounds better than playing through Bluetooth. But the Bluetooth is not bad either compared to the degradation of sound using Bluetooth on some of my older equipments.
I bought this amp for my computer and have a set of bookshelf speakers connected along with a subwoofer. This amp has many of the features of a home stereo in a 2.1 package. I am enjoying this amp, however have not had it for long.

If you're looking for a desktop amplifier for bookshelf speakers, look no further. After extensive research, I found the only real options in this space (desktop Bluetooth DAC/amp for speakers, not headphones) are this and the AD18. After returning a defective AD18 unit, I order one of these and will never look back. Excellent clarity even at high volumes, with enough power to drive my speakers (Fluance Reference Series) just as well as my dedicated home theater system.

Dalle dimensioni davvero ridotte, come si evince in foto, non potevo immaginare tanta qualit. Ho atteso circa un anno prima di dare un mio parere, posso serenamente dire che qualit e affidabilit sono assicurate.
Also ich mu sagen ich bin sehr begeistert von dem Gert.
Ich bin ein Monteur der in der Windkraft ttig ist. Dabei bin ich teilweise auch auf mehrwchigen Auslandseinstzen wo ich gerne auch in Ferienhusern Unterkunft suche. Da das dann mit deutschem fernsehen sehr schwierig wird habe ich mir im Laufe der Jahre ein mobiles Entertainment Paket zugelegt. Dabei ist mir mein alter “Reiseverstrker” kaputt gegangen.
Also war ich auf der Suche nach einem Ersatz.
Durch langes recherchieren bin ich nun auf dieses Gert gestoen.
Also die Bestellung ist schnell ber die Bhne gelaufen.
Dann der Test erstmal zu Hause…
Ausgepackt, angeschlossen und los ging es…
Alles super einfach und funktionierte auf Anhieb, ohne irgendwelche schwierigen Einstellungen vorzunehmen.
Ich benutze das Gert als 2.1- System.
Also ich habe an dem Gert 4 Teufel Sateliten angeschlossen ( auf dem linken Kanal 2 und auf dem rechten Kanal 2, jeweils parallel angeschlossen ).
Zustzlich habe ich noch einen JBL Aktiv-Subwoofer ber den extra Sub-Ausgang ber Chinch-Verbindung angeschlossen.
Die Quellverbindung luft dann ber die Bluetooth-Verbindung.
Ich muss sagen ich bin echt berrascht…
Sehr guter Klang! Keinerlei Rauschen oder sonstiges an Nebengeruschen zu hren.
Dann hat man noch den Equalizer mit voreingestellten Programmen, man kann aber auch noch die Tiefen und Hhen separat einstellen.
Was man nicht kann ist den Sub-Ausgang separat am Gert einzustellen! Das muss man dann am Aktiv-Subwoofer einstellen..
Was die Leistung des Gertes angeht ist das voll in Ordnung. Bei berlast schaltet das Gert den linken und rechten Kanal aus, das aber nach kurzer Zeit bzw. Runterregeln der Lautstrke wieder zugeschaltet wird.
Also mein Fazit….
Schnelle Lieferung …
Schnes kleines Gert…
Sehr sauber und solide gebaut…
Super Klang…
Bluetooth 1A , mit der beigelegten kleinen Antenne, auch ne sehr weite Reichweite!!!!
Sehr einfach zu bedienen…
Wer jetzt eine Partymaschine sucht und Wunder erwartet ist hier falsch!
Aber fr mein Entertainment-Paket ist das voll ausreichend und langt auch um die Nachbarn 2 Haustre weiter zu rgern!
Shocked by how good this sounds
My old yamaha mini receiver gave out and I was all set on finding something comparable on ebay. I’m so glad I gave this a shot first. It’s driving the same 6ohm yamaha bookshelf speakers i’ve been using for years, and they have never sounded better. Every instrument in every song I’ve listened to has been clear and realistic. I can’t quite believe how much better this sounds than my old system, AND I’m connected from my pc via bluetooth.
Most budget tech is a litany of compromises, but this is one of the few pieces of gear I would recommend to anyone without any reservation. It’s beautiful.
A great amp for some people.
Many people will enjoy this dac and many people. I will do a pro and con list:
Pro:
Built in realtek dac chip
Handles 4 ohms
Aptx
Very low noise floor
Good volume knob
Customizable lcd screen
Cons:
Midrange is too bright
Amp doesnt like to play low bass notes
EQ has very little info on what your adjusting
No headphone out
No cox/opt in
No batteries (for this kind of money?)
Its brother the ad18 performs a bit worse but has more features, go and get that instead.
Also ich denke, die eigentliche Strke dieses kleinen Amps ist seine Knausrigkeit!
-Ausgeschaltet bzw. StandBy nur 0,15W (ohne Netzteil!)
-Eingeschaltet nur 0,8W bei 12V //Und das mit einem gut ablesbaren Display!
-Eingeschaltet nur 0,048mA bei 24V -> 1,15W
Das war sicherlich auch das Entwicklungsziel des Verstrker-ICs ‘MA12070’ von Infineon.
Zitat aus dem Datenblatt: “It supports a 4-26V supply voltage range, allowing it to be used in many different applications.
* Battery Operated Speakers
* Wireless and Docking Speakers, …”
Tja …und am Klang kann ich nichts aussetzen ( ….nach dem ich endlich auf den Gedanken kam, den 230V-Stecker zu wenden…:-)
Tja, …Einbildung ist auch eine Bildung. Und sie hlt mich seit vielen Stunden von weiteren Vergleichen mit dem famosen ‘SABAJ A4’ ab. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Klangbild bzw. -Raum. Darauf lege ich seeehr viel Wert. Und da rauscht gar nix; alles erklingt sauber und mit schn aufgelsten, unnervigen Hhen.
Und kurioser Weise das alles mit BlueTooth (V5). Eigentlich bin ich ein Purist, aber selbst diese verlustreiche Verbindung nervt nicht. Nebenbei: Anfnglich lag der SABAJ vorne mit BlueTooth 4.2. Doch dann fiel mir dieser Dreh ein… und nun habe ich nicht mehr das Gefhl, zu viel Geld fr den SMSL SA300 ausgegeben zu haben.
Przise: Beim SABAJ A4 bekommt Mann mehr Leistung, (digitale)Eingnge und (Kopfhrer-)Ausgnge und womglich noch eine Priese mehr Rauminformation fr’s Geld.
Doch da der SMSL so gengsam ist, kann Mann da auch mal an eine Akku-Lsung im Garten denken.
An 12V spielt er problemlos auch erhhte Zimmerlautstrke. Dabei ‘zuckte’ die (gerechnete, numerische) Leistungsanzeige des vorgeschalteten Buck-Wandlers nur stellenweise ber 3W.
Also mal wieder ein Fortschritt …ohne sprbare Nachteile:-)
PS: Das nirgends beschriebene, mitgelieferte Netzteil soll bei 24V bis zu 6A liefern. Ich denke, das reicht.
If you're looking for a high quality stereo amp for your desk, just stop looking and buy this thing. Incredible price/performance and footprint you can't beat.

Used it for living room listening. Used s803 jamo speakers. Amazon cables. Amazon prime music from my phone. Great sound. Enough power. No problem with blutooth. Quality product. Better than inspected.

Solid Desktop amp for small bookshelf speakers
having bought and returned a number of solutions for the desktop, this is the best of the bunch. All the inputs you need, much better build quality than some of the other options. Doesnt run hot. Some cheaper options but this is worth the extra
Good for mid-fi setup
I tried pairing this amp with a couple of speakers. They drove my Klipsch satellite speakers well. I tried pairing it with an LS50, which are known for being hard to drive. That was a bad combination; it sounded muddy in the bass section compared to the Sprout100, another class D amp.
I would recommend this amp with a fairly easy to drive speaker and a subwoofer.
This is a very good little thing. I have a pair of klipsch RP-150M connected to it and it works wonders. I highly recommend it if your looking for a small portable little amp.

Stunning sound quality
I am so impressed with the beautiful sound quality of this tiny amp. I have a main system worth circa 10k and this little amp would not be embarrassed in that company. Match it with a decent set of speakers, nicely isolated on quslity stands and you have a great hifi for small to medium rooms. It’s never going to blow the windows out but that’s not the point. Clarity, soundstaging, depth and dynamic range are super impressive for the price. And it looks very cool too.
I bought this to amplify passive speakers connected to my computer. I expected okay sound but was surprised at the sense of "presence" created particularly when using the USB interface. Very good frequency response and broad sound stage. Haven't tried connecting a powered sub yet, but will probably upgrade my speakers to take full advantage.

Happy with the purchase. This unit runs cool, goes plenty loud for nearly all standmounters and to my ears sounds good. If you connect a subwoofer you'll need to manually adjust volume level via sub, takes a bit of tweaking to set to taste, there is no auto set up as you have on home theater receivers, but its really not difficult. Bluetooth connection works better than the Onkyo 676 receiver I have. My wife likes the way it looks and the ease of use. I've hooked it to phone and via higher quality DAC (EVGA NU-Audio) and you notice the difference which suggest the amp is decent quality and keeps good level of detail. For the money i'm super happy sounds at least as good as my old sony ES series reciever did with music and I like it a lot.

Premium sound for less than 150 US American green dollars. Pair with an external DAC and you will blow your head!!!
Ok … now let’s be honest. To have a pristine sound you need more than a good amplifier. There are three big axes for good sound, and you don’t need to own a thousands-dollar DAC amp. You just need good speakers, well-recorded music and knowing how to play with the settings of your amplifier. There is no point in having PCM or DSD files if the musician and the sound engineer did their job wrong. HIFI is a state of mind.
Amplificatore piccolo ma efficace
Ottimo prodotto , in uscita audio nessun rumore di fondo anche in assenza suono . Qualit musicale , non sono un audiofilo, per me molto buona anche nei dettagli bassi medi ed alti.Io ho collegato due casse kipsh da 100 w vintage, suonano benissimo.Non dimentichiamo poi il telecomando e il bluetooth , questi ultimi un valore aggiunto alla ottima flessibilit ingressi dell’ amplificatore .
Bought for my daughters new place. She uses her phone for most all music listening and this works perfectly. When combined with some decent speakers the sound is crystal clear.

Upgraded my computer’s sound system, and I picked up this amp. I don’t regret that purchase, I’ve really enjoyed having it. The instructions leave a little to be desired, but I think that can be chalked up to me not initially knowing what cables I’d need to use audio equipment like this.
I have the inline connection plugged into my home computer, the USB connection goes to my work computer, and the bluetooth connects to my phone now, so whatever I am currently doing, I can use my speaker system very easily. Great range on the bluetooth as well! Would happily recommend this to a friend, though I think looking back I might have bought the red one, mostly cause I think its a cooler colour and my desk is very monotone now
More than sufficient power to drive a pair of Sony SSCS5 bookshelf speakers. Volume needs vary based on the input source/audio quality. I use 50-75% volume with AptX/USB inputs from macbook or with RCA from external preamps like Schiit Magni. SBC/AAC bluetooth input from iPhones require 90% volume. I also found that Subwoofer OUT is low pass, cuts out high frequencies.

Great little amplifier with also at no distortion.
The good:
I decided to finally keep this amplifier just because the sound quality is absolutely fantastic . Compared side by side with my Hartman full size amplifier and the AD18 from SMSL and this little guy is almost on par with the HK . AD18 has horrible THD distortion so will go back.
The not so good:
Bluetooth connection is ok using the iPhone but if I connect it to Google home mini the playback is garbage and this is because BT 5.0 is not backwards compatible .
C’est un amplificateur de classe D compacte et trs esthtique une fois que l’on voit pour de vrai.
J’coute du Spotify avec un appareil genre chromeaudio branch l’entre Line.
J’ai pu constat que l’entre micro usb est compatible avec les appareils sous androd notamment avec mon Fiio puis aussi sous iOS avec mon iPhone X. J’ai pas essay avec un ordinateur mais normalement c’est reconnu.
Le son se marie bien avec les Monitor Audio Bronze 2. Un bon son avec suffisamment de grave. Je ne l’utilise pas le volume fond, a m’intresse pas. Je l’ai utilis avec les fichiers wav donc qualit CD. Le son est magnifique. Malheureusement je n’ai pas de fichier Hi-res pour tester l’entre micro USB car son Dac n’est pas mal thoriquement.
Le packaging est est bon et la livraison bon malgr la priode de confinement.
Pour la prise secteur, elle est adapte pour la France (fournie). Les puristes pourront upgrader avec des prises plus onreuses.
Install dans ma cuisine c’est le top de prparer de bons petits plats en musique.
C’est un bon rapport qualit prix et bon tout court pour ma part.
Le son est clair, profond & transparent.

I was looking for a garage system that I could utilize my old Subwoofer. This thing is fenomenal for its size. Bought some bookshelf speakers and my workouts get intense now with the volume and thump that I wanted.

Gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis
Habe den SMSL SA300 fr mein Bro gekauft. Hre dort Musik per “bluetooth” bers Handy bzw. per “line in” ber meinen PC. Angeschlossen ist er an ein Paar Nubert nuBox 513 Boxen. Ich kann den Verstrker empfehlen und wrde ihn wiederkaufen.
SMSL SA300, un amplificatore classe D capace di 40W x 2 (8 Ohm) costruito su componentistica di qualit ed innovativa, come il Merus MA 12070 della tedesca Infineon.
Non sono disponibili le specifiche complete da parte del costruttore cinese (risposta in frequenza, damping factor, ) quindi le osservazioni devono essere fatte per confronto con altri amplificatori.
L’aspetto che colpisce sono soprattutto la dimensione ed i consumi (35W) molto contenuti, tipici della classe di prodotto.
Messo a confronto con il mio buon vecchio Rotel RA-940BX di potenza equivalente (40W su 8 Ohm, risposta 10 — 100.000 Hz, damping factor 150, 260 W) ormai di trent’anni fa, non sfigura.
Buona gamma dinamica, suono agile e un po’ secco, ottimo su musica rock ma non troppo ben definito quando si tratta di classica soprattutto nei pieni orchestrali dove la presentazione diventa pi ingombra e meno coerente, personalmente preferisco il suono pi equilibrato del Rotel.
Nessuna nota di rilievo sulla potenza in uscita, riesce a pilotare perfettamente sia le Dali Zensor 1 che le JBL LX-2002 in mio possesso.
L’ingresso Bluetooth 5.0 (Qualcomm) mantiene il segnale perfettamente stabile, buono il Line-In ed ottimo l’ingresso USB (DAC Realtek). Quest’ultimo immediatamente riconosciuto da Win 10 e non richiede altro SW.
La sensazione che ricavo, anche osservando le immagini della scheda, di un prodotto semplice e molto ben curato ma totalmente affidato alle caratteristiche del suo componente principale (i circuiti di protezione sono quelli interni al MA 12070), e questo spiegherebbe sia la mancanza di specifiche complete sia la convenienza.
Dal punto di vista complessivo lo ritengo un ottimo acquisto.
This thing rips! I have mine hooked up to some Micca rb42 speakers and couldn't be happier. I use these in the garage without a sub because the miccas are perfect. Complainers all want things that would require a bigger system and or more components which beats the design purpose of the SA300. For the size its probably the best sounding unit you can buy.

Brauchte fr den Garten einen Amp mit BT und DAC
Ich habe nichts erwartet. Wirklich nicht. Ich benutze sonst teurere Hifikomponenten.
Aber was soll ich sagen der Verstrker ist wirklich gut.
Er spielt Sauber und Verzerrungsarm mit Drive und Auflsung wie ich es nie erwartet htte. Er ist sehr ausgewogen und es gibt eigentlich nichts zu meckern. Habe nichts gefunden wo ich sagen wrde das ist schlecht. Kleinigkeiten Bhnenbreite und knnte mehr sein ist aber meckern auf aller hchstem Niveau denn wie gesagt ich hab nichts erwartet.
Habe schon deutlich teurere Verstrker hier gehabt die sich deutlich grere Fehler geleistet haben die zurck gingen. Endweder hatten sie kein Drive/Kontrolle, keine Auflsung , berbetonten irgendwelche Bereiche/zischelten oder ((der verbaute DA Wandler war Mll (3 Gerte im Bereich 700-1100))
Man bekommt einen Amp mit DAC und BT fr 130 .
Ist zwar kein Highend erlaubt sich fr das Geld aber keinen Fehler und hat eine tolle Ausstattung welche auch wirklich funktioniert.
Getestet an KEF R300 und Elac BS244.3
Punkt Fernbedinung. Ich wei nicht was einige erwarten die liegt super in der Hand und ist auch sauber verarbeitet und erfllt ihren Zweck.
Mein Oppo Sonica DAC hat eine Folienfernbedinung wie von den LED Stripes da bei gehabt und der kostet 999, da ist sowas schbig. Da htte ich mich ber so eine Fernbedinung gefreut.
Schaut mal was Musical Fidility beim M6Si fr einen Knochen da bei legt bei einem ber 3000 Verstrker.
I'm using it to drive a pair of KEF150 and so far haven't found anything to complain about.
I’m using it to drive a pair of KEF150 and so far haven’t found anything to complain about.
A serious upgrade from the little Denon mini system that I had been using. The sound is punchy and “full” and powerful enough to drive my 4ohm KEF floorstanders. I can max out the volume setting without deafening volume so I’m skeptic on the rated power but perfect for a smaller/medium room.. Most music genres sound good but EDM or anything with a strong beat really comes alive on this thing and also brings out midrange detail. The interface is basic but usable and I doubt I will use the remote control. I am seriously impressed with this amp – this is not audiophile money but its brought a huge grin to my face and can’t stop revisiting my old music collection. I haven’t been this happy since selling all my old Arcam kit a few years back.
Superb! Two Thumbs-Up!!
Only have had it for less than a day, but love it!
Sound is clear and crisp.
Driving a pair of vintage (circa 1972) Kenwood KL-777 passive speakers.
Hopefully, the amp will last a long, long time!
One downside – the manual printing is so small that it is almost impossible to read!
Buon prodotto
Buon prodotto. Si accoppia facilmente con i device Bluetooth, connessione stabile. Diverse opzioni di regolazione del suono, sia equalizzatore che toni. Potenza sufficiente per una stanza non troppo grande. Il suono mi sembra buono, forse solo un po’ “chiuso”, ma potrebbe dipendere anche dai miei diffusori. Molto positivo il fatto che non emetta alcun rumore di fondo. Il telecomando permette di gestire tutte le funzioni, peccato che tramite bluetooth non interagisce col device (avanzamento traccia…). I definita un buon acquisto che consiglio
Ampli qui le fait vraiment bien :)
Excellent petit ampli de classe D qui sort un son pur et crystalin avec de bonnes basses et une stro parfaite !!
J’y ai coupl les missions LX2 et c’est du pur bonheur dans le bureau 🙂
This amp is amazing. It changed my mind about Class D amplifiers....warm....detailed....lots of micro and macro dynamics....not bright or harsh.....midrange is glorious. It is very easy to use, very intuitive. The eq options are very good sounding, the SDB eq option is amazing. The direct eq setting is very pure sounding as well. This amp is a must buy, it will change your mind about Class D amplifiers. I have used it with 5 different types of speakers of all sizes and types and various impedances...even high efficiency sensitive speakers and it is dead silent and handles all these speakers passionately. Yes passionately ! My only critique would be the bass is a little mushy....not a lot. And this is me being nit picky ! I own some very nice audio equipment and the SMSL sa300 is something special.

QUALITY CONSTRUCTION, FLAWLESS FINISH, EASY TO HOOK-UP, INTUITIVE, UNCLUTTERED. USED IN A GARAGE STERIO SETTING AND HAD MORE THAN ENOUGH VOLUME, ( 2 WAY SPEAKERS WERE RATED 180WATTS MAX , 60WATTS CONTINUOUS), EXCELLENT SOUND. THE INSTRUCTION PAMPHLET COULD BE LARGER, DIFFICULT TO READ, SMALL PRINT. EXCELLENT PURCHASE.

Great speaker amp at a killer price
This amp is awesome. Great sound. Low noise floor. Great power and low distortion with great clarity compared to options like Topping mX3. Powers two polk S15 speakers attached to my TV in my setup. Bluetooth sounds great. Remote is not designed for this product but works great (you could upgrade to harmony remote from Logitech).
Things to keep in mind:
Subwoofers on this may not stop low frequency sounds from going to your speakers. I don’t use a sub so I don’t care.
No optical input. You could remedy this with a DAC costing between 15-100 dollars. You can plug your TV headphone out into this unit but the TV’s DAC likely won’t do it justice.
No headphone amp. This baby is for speakers only.
S.M.S.L SA300
This is the best portable class D amplifier I have heard in a while.
There is clarity in the music and it’s a very musical sounding amp.
Good for small to mid size rooms. You could also use it in larger rooms with more efficient speakers.
I find it has enough power to drive my not so efficient speakers, in a small room with ease.
It also has a built in DAC to boot.
SMSL has definite winner here, worth 5 stars.
I’m using this to power a pair of Polk S15 bookshelf speakers in an upstairs bathroom. Sound quality is fantastic; absolutely comparable to mid-fi class AB receivers/integrated amps. The tone controls and EQ work well if that’s your thing; they don’t appear to introduce any noise or distortion and are completely unobtrusive. The Bluetooth range and connectivity is amazing; it connects right away, and hasn’t dropped yet in 2 weeks of daily usage. I can run down to the basement with my phone, and it doesn’t drop out. Didn’t think that was possible with BT. Controls and remote work well, and the display (you can change the color!) is great. Its footprint works well where space is limited; the power adapter (looks like a typical laptop power supply) is nearly as large as the amp itself. There’s really nothing to even nitpick about this thing. Highly recommended!
I am very pleased with this amp. I have used all three inputs with great results. Aux, USB DAC, & Bluetooth all sound really good. The sound is very detailed & open with lots of punch & plenty of power for my Elac UniFi & my Micca RB42 speakers, both of which need more power than most bookshelf speakers. Using lossless sound quality from Tidal & Amazon HD is very pleasing with this Kit. Highly recommended.
Super produit, finition au top : le chssis en aluminium est bien ralis et les connecteurs sont solides. L’cran dispose d’une bonne dfinition. C’est une vrai amlioration par rapport a l’ad18 qui fait plus cheap.
Je recommande !
Questo SMSL SA300 viene venduto come upgrade dell’ AD18 e in effetti per quel poco che ho potuto ascoltarlo non niente male come DAC amplificatore da 80watt per canale in 4 ohm.
Ci sono per delle note dolenti, almeno per me, che non lo rendono per nulla un upgrade:
1. Non ha pi l’ingresso ottico, che io utilizzo normalmente per amplificare la TV;
2. Non ha pi l’uscita cuffie, un vero peccato;
3. Non mostra sul display a che frequenza sta lavorando il DAC come invece faceva il predecessore AD18.
Per questi motivi do solo 4 stelle. Poi un piccolo problema che dipende dalla mia attrezzature. Se usate un android box per suonare la vostra musica via usb in entrata nel dac, se suonate qualcosa superiore ai 96khz esce fuori un rumore fastidiosissimo al posto della musica. Ma ovviamente questo dipender dal fatto che il mio android box non supporta frequenza superiori ai 96khz. Sull’AD18 invece non avevo questo problema perch forse riconoscendo che l’AD18 lavorava al massimo a 96khz faceva un downsampling suonando correttamente il file. Insomma, sar per il prossimo modello: almeno per me.
Produit reu dfectueux. Claquement violent dans les enceinte et musique dcoup. Retour et attente du mme modle qui fonctionne pour faire un commentaire sur l’coute. C’est mon 3eme smsl, j’adore le A18 que j’utilise sur les enceintes colonnes Triangle Altea SW rpute difficile. J’adore le smsl A50 que je conseille de coupler a un qualiseur et que j’utilisais sur des jmlab Mgane carat. Que j’utilise actuellement sur des Focal sib pour le son d’une TV annexe, j’ai un son fabuleux, puissance, prcision, clart avec un niveau plus que raisonnable des basses. Attente de tester le sa300 qui semble meilleur que le A18
Le 2eme fut le bon.
Je le trouve le Sa300 (TYPE D) plus agrable que le smsl A18 qui est un FDA.
J’ai fini par ajouter en amont des sources un dac 10th sanskrit que je recommande galement. Du coup j’exploite le dac smsl comme preampli pour 3 sources : ordi en USB (oubliez pas le driver XMOS), coax pour mon lecteur multimdia Yamaha et toslink pour la TV. Le dac diffuse sur le sa300 en RCA. Je trouve le son lgrement moins defini/”agressif” que le A18 et plus agrable /mlodieux pour du jazz et du classique ou les enregistrements ne sont pas tous exemplaires. Cela me donne envie avec le temps passer un ampli de puissance de type D avec un meilleur DAC ou lecteur multimedia/dac comme le dp5 de smsl.
