Good little unit - worked right out of the box
Reviewed in Canada on January 1, 2024
Verified Purchase
A good little unit - came as described, and was nicely packaged. It's an all-plastic affair, making it light, so I'm hoping it's durability will hold up (understanding that no electronics are meant to be / like being bounced).

Very simple connections -- can't really make a mistake, except that all RCA output ports look the same, and you really have to look hard to see which ones are the audio ports, and which one is the video port.

I tested the unit with the USB-C input port, and it worked fine (I used it to connect a laptop to a small analog DJ mixer). Choosing which input is done by the power button on the front, with sequential presses 'cycling' through the various input options (indicated by a small light on the front). Once connected to the computer and powered on, it had taken little time to be ready to be used. I do recommend however that when connecting to a computer via USB, to connect first while the unit is off, and then turning it on. I say this because when switching to a different computer or device via USB by just pulling it out and inserting into the next, I seemed to have issues in getting the new device to see the DAC (sometimes not at all). The Bluetooth feature works just fine, and I didn't notice any significant difference in sound quality between a hard connection via USB or wirelessly via Bluetooth (from a mobile phone) -- maybe more experimentation would be needed to determine if this is the case.

The one thing that neither online information or the manual gives information about is what audio formats this DAC is able to convert. I was using MP3's as a test, and a friend used his computer with iTunes and it seemed to work ok as well. There are probably limitations, but I didn't do any detailed examination. Also, you need to be a bit cautious about when using certain devices as sound sources (laptops, computers, tv, etc.) that the (operating) system settings know to direct the (hard wire) audio output to the correct port - whether it be USB or HDMI or optical cable.

Although pricier than some other units, I like the variety of inputs this unit has, as well as the ESS chip (although it's impossible to find implementation info on this chip in this particular DAC).

It seems like a great product. I am using it to connect audio from my somy Bravia XR X90L TV to a vintage audio receiver to use for normal or surround sound, and the sound is great.

I used the optical link. Removed one star because the optical cable does not connect perfectly making a click, it always seems a little loose. The unit is also quite light and I had a rigid RCA cable connecting to it initially so the unit would not rest perfectly horizontally on the table, but I got a more flexible cable and now it is ok and I have not had issues with it since.

Initially I could not get the Bluetooth to pair with my phone, but I was getting a new phone at the time and the new one paired right off the bat. Think maybe I had too many devices previously paired on my other phone, and when I deleted a few I was able to pair it too, and the bluetooth function works very well also.

Overall I am quite happy with the purchase and would recommend it.

Excellent Simple DAC Value!
Reviewed in Canada on January 25, 2024
Verified Purchase
It is interesting when you think about it what $40 purchases these days. Half a tank of gas, lunch for two or a box of connectable plastic bricks. Then on the other hand, when you think about the technology included in a DAC the PS100 represent an incredible value. While the ESS 9023 DAC chip is 24bit instead of the newer 32bit chips I suspect that for the majority 32bit performance is not utilized. For those who need 32bit there are a plethora of more expensive DACs available.

I really love the simplicity of this device which partially helps it come in at such a low price point, yet it still performs extremely well. For me a DAC is a set and forget device and for the PS100 you do just that; connect it to an amplifier and your digital source, plug it in, power it on and select your digital input. Done. While a USB adapter would be useful, these days adapters are readily available and DACs at three time the price don’t include one either.

My use for the PS100 is to add a second optical input to my older but still relevant AV receiver. It was simple to setup, worked correctly immediately and sounds great. It even has HDMI (ARC) if your TV is compatible. (I’ll ignore the Bluetooth; not a big fan.)

Having other DACs on hand I was curious as to how it stacked up against a DAC that costs several times more; in this case the SMSL D0300. I set the PS100 up in my primary listening system and was very surprised on how well it stood up. Was there a difference? Yes, and I would hope so however the difference is subtle as in you have to listen for it noting that others who regularly review audio products would probably call the difference huge. There were definite improvements in detail, sustain, separation and precision, which I find make the listening experience more enjoyable, but in the absence of an AB comparisons were not necessarily missed when using the PS100.

For anyone who needs a basic DAC to add connectivity to or upgrade an older receiver or digital source the PS100 fits the bill.

If you're thinking on purchasing this DAC, just do it! Wow, I never heard music sounding to perfect compared to the players original DAC. I'm using the digital coaxial input. The lows are great, the mids are smooth and well defined and the highs are even better! If you have this unit plugged into a switched power bar, it will maintain the setting you have entered even after the power bar has been turned off. For $40, you won't be able to find one better. Just do it!

This tiny little DAC, about the same size as 2 decks of cards, is an excellent low price upgrade for my "Old" Cocktail Audio X10 streamer.Music sounds more defined and the soundstage,stereo image, is a whole lot better.
Can't wait to hear the difference it will make to my "old" Roksan KandyKD1 Mk3 cd player when I get a coaxial cable and also how my TV and Bluray player will sound when I get a longer HDMI cable.

I have the samsung "the frame" tv and was doubting either use the optical or the HDMI/arc for audio output. Both work. (and only the HDMI reacts on the remote volume).
The converter has enough dynamic range for my amplifier to be open full throttle all the time and not hear a hiss/noise.
Just the power supply should be well filtered. First had a USB supply that caused some chirp/hiss in the audio, so the unit does not have power-supply-filtering.

Premessa (la premessa è lunga ma fa capire perché scegliere questo prodotto rispetto ad altri, se avete fretta potete saltare al verdetto)

Ero alla ricerca di un DAC per collegare un lettore Bluray ultra economico e ultra compatto a un sistema KEF Picoforte, che fornisce l'adeguato zerbino musicale alle giornate di smart working (la foto ha lo scopo di illustrare il prodotto). A dispetto delle dimensioni, il sistema KEF suona bene, si tratta di un classico ampli in classe D da 2x35W, in grado di gestire un Subwoofer, abbinato alle casse KHT1005.2 che utilizzano la stessa tecnologia Uni-Q presente negli altoparlanti hi-fi di KEF. Al piccolo KEF era collegato un FiiO D3 a cui a sua volta in cascata c'è un WiiM mini, connesso con cavo ottico.
Alla catena WiiM - FiiO - KEF si è aggiunto un lettore Bluray, il cui solo scopo è quello di riprodurre CD musicali. E il Bluray ha solo uscita HDMI.
E quindi torniamo all'oggetto della recensione e al motivo dell'acquisto.

Confezione essenziale, all'interno c'è il DAC, il cavo USB per l'alimentazione e un cavo HDMI (bene, così non devo acquistarlo, nel lettore ovviamente non c'è), il manuale, la garanzia.
L'apparecchio è leggerissimo, completamente di plastica (il FiiO pesa di più, ma perché in metallo), di primo acchito lascia perplessi: potrebbe essere vuoto all'interno e non ne sarei stupito.
Connessioni: tante tutte, forse di più. HDMI, Ottico, coassiale, USB, insomma più di quelle a me necessarie. La seconda foto mostra tutto quello che l'apparecchio è in grado di gestire.
Una volta collegati i cavi - attenzione, lo spazio è ristretto, se avete cavi di grossa sezione .. beh, qui non servono, usateli altrove, che bastano i classici bianco/nero da qualche euro... dicevo, una volta collegati i cavi, accendo il sistema.

Silenzio

ah, giusto, devo premere sul selettore posto sul frontale .. uno due tre (ma quanti ingressi ci sono?) ecco che arriva il suono. Qualche prova con i miei CD preferiti, poi passo al WiiM con Tidal e qualche file dal NAS.

Verdetto.
Fa egregiamente il suo lavoro, cioè estrarre l'audio da HDMI e portarlo in analogico sul KEF, stessa cosa per l'audio del WiiM. Mi sembra faccia un lavoro migliore rispetto al DAC integrato nel WiiM, buona profondità e buona ricostruzione della scena musicale - non è impastato, confuso, anzi. le voci e gli strumenti sono dove devono stare.
Non ho provato - e non proverò - la connessione USB del pc e la connessione BT (dimenticavo, c'è anche quella) perché non mi interessano.
Il cambio di modalità è rapidissimo, basta premere il pulsante sul frontale.
Non fa per nulla rimpiangere il FiiO D3, DAC con cui si può paragonare.
Non scalda, per il poco che l'ho usato fino ad ora non mi ha dato problemi.

Per gioco, l'ho messo a confronto con un DAC Cambridge Audio (il cui prezzo è x10) e con un NAD C388, usando sempre il WiiM come sorgente. Ovviamente sarebbe ingiusto giudicare questo piccolo SMSL con questi prodotti, quindi non lo farò. Ma per 30€ questo apparecchio ha anche le dita.

Lo raccomando, se dovete usarlo come convertitore tuttofare in un impianto di piccole dimensioni. A questo prezzo e con queste caratteristiche mi pare non ci sia nulla di paragonabile.

Lo vedo bene abbinato al Fosi Audio V3, con cui va a nozze per il limitato numero di ingressi messi a disposizione dall'amplificatore.

ah, giusto, devo premere sul selettore posto sul frontale .. uno due tre (ma quanti ingressi ci sono?) ecco che arriva il suono. Qualche prova con i miei CD preferiti, poi passo al WiiM con Tidal e qualche file dal NAS.

Verdetto.
Fa egregiamente il suo lavoro, cioè estrarre l'audio da HDMI e portarlo in analogico sul KEF, stessa cosa per l'audio del WiiM. Mi sembra faccia un lavoro migliore rispetto al DAC integrato nel WiiM, buona profondità e buona ricostruzione della scena musicale - non è impastato, confuso, anzi. le voci e gli strumenti sono dove devono stare.
Non ho provato - e non proverò - la connessione USB del pc e la connessione BT (dimenticavo, c'è anche quella) perché non mi interessano.
Il cambio di modalità è rapidissimo, basta premere il pulsante sul frontale.
Non fa per nulla rimpiangere il FiiO D3, DAC con cui si può paragonare.
Non scalda, per il poco che l'ho usato fino ad ora non mi ha dato problemi.

Per gioco, l'ho messo a confronto con un DAC Cambridge Audio (il cui prezzo è x10) e con un NAD C388, usando sempre il WiiM come sorgente. Ovviamente sarebbe ingiusto giudicare questo piccolo SMSL con questi prodotti, quindi non lo farò. Ma per 30€ questo apparecchio ha anche le dita.

Lo raccomando, se dovete usarlo come convertitore tuttofare in un impianto di piccole dimensioni. A questo prezzo e con queste caratteristiche mi pare non ci sia nulla di paragonabile.

Lo vedo bene abbinato al Fosi Audio V3, con cui va a nozze per il limitato numero di ingressi messi a disposizione dall'amplificatore.

La parte bluetooth suena bastante bien y tiene nivel alto. No he notado diferencias con la salida analógica de mi cd Sony que me gusta mucho. La óptica suena genial aunque en mi cd JVC la música empieza con un leve click (luego, el resto del disco no). Igual es ese CD, porque, con el SMSL SU1, que también tengo, no pasa esto pero si alguna caida de señal cada 3 o 4 canciones. La coaxial perfecta. La HDMI no la he probado. No he podido comparar este DAC con el SU1, pero recuerdo mejor sonido (más definición) en el SU1, aunque, a este precio y con el añadido del HDMI no tiene mucho que envidiar. Lo único que mejoraría es la mini lucecita que dice en qué entrada se está. Casi ni se ve, es muy pequeña y muy tenue. Por lo demás, DAC muy interesante a precio de risa para lo que hace y para como suena.

This box can do it all... toslink, coaxial, USB, BT and very conveniently HDMI via the ARC port on my TV... everything works without any problems!
Considering the price, connectivity and decent sound quality this is a really impressive device!
