SMSL Audio M500 MKII DAC

Ten years of ingenuity, with professional technology and attitude brings true lossless enjoymment with the M500 MKII Bluetooth Audio DAC and headphone amplifierfeaturing high performance with audiophile grade materials. 

High performance

The M500 features the top performance D/A chip ES9038PRO from ESS Technology. With the high-performance power supply chip ES9311, the noise of ES9311 is as low as 1uVrms. Additionally, the 3rd ES9038PRO circuit design has a surprisingly low distortion of -123dB and is more stable. 

Plus, the built-in high-performance headphone amplifier circuit makes it possible to obtain more than 2W output power and less than -120dB distortion when the headphone is placed in a 16Ω load!

Professional circuit design

The new self-developed CK-02 clock processing circuit greatly reduces clock jitter.

The latest technologies

USB uses the latest second-generation XMOS XU-216, a true 23bit USB solution, with customised drivers for the transmission of various high-definition audio, DoP and native DSD can provide better support.

Qualcomm's latest Bluetooth chip supports LDAC 24bit/96kHz, APTX/HD, SBC, AAC.

USB, optical, coaxial support DSD and MQA decode, coaxial and optical support DOP64 and MQA-CD.

A variety of digital filters for PCM signals

As many as 7 filter modes, allowing you to change the tone suitable for most people's tastes.

Independent volume adjustment function

Headphone and preamp volume are independent of each other and don't interfere with each other.

Built in shield

Built-in shielded, low noise power supply processing, while improving power efficiency and lower power consumption.

Low noise power supply

Specially designed discrete component linear regulated power supply and multiple low-noise regulated power supplies to provide low noise power for analog circuits.

High-quality materials and design

The D300 uses a tempered glass display panel for higher light transmission and longer service life, high quality gold-plated input and output jacks, 4 high-end dual op-amps OPA1612 and a lot of audio grade components. 

The M500 MKII holds Japan Audio Association (JAS) Hi-Res certification.
