SMSL D2R MK2: Precision Timing and Flagship Decoding
SMSL VMV D2R MK2 takes the widely-loved musicality of the OG D2R and injects it with a world-class clocking system. It comes equipped with the ROHM BD34302EKV flagship DAC chipset, known for its organic, rich sound signature. It is combined with XMOS XU316 16-core USB chipset that enables 32bit/768kHz PCM and native DSD512 audio signal processing. The SMSL VMV D2R MK2 houses their advanced CK-04 clock processing circuit that ensures ultra-low jitter across different digital inputs. SMSL VMV D2R MK2 features the all-new CK-04 architecture with an Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator(OCXO) clock with a stability of ±5ppb, it simply ensures super clean output with no noticeable jitter across all digital inputs. The flagship BD34302EKV DAC chipset ensures superb performance, it enables the D2R MK2 to achieve an ultra-low distortion of 0.00013%, promising a pitch-dark background in the output signal. Unlike standard DACs in the market, the SMSL VMV D2R MK2 supports MQA and MQA-CD decoding across USB, Optical, Coaxial, and AES/EBU inputs. It also has I2S, and high-definition Bluetooth connectivity. With a custom linear power supply design featuring a British Porcupine toroidal transformer, the SMSL VMV D2R MK2 gets clean, noise-free power delivery to each component on the audio circuitry. The SMSL VMV D2R MK2 is available with us priced at $1160, check out more details here.
SMSL VMV P2 MK2: A Complete Powerhouse with 99-OPAMP Architecture
To complement the crystal clear sound decoding of the VMV D2R MK2, SMSL has also released the second generation to its powerful P2 headphone amplifier. The SMSL VMV P2 MK2 is a marvelously designed desktop headphone amplifier with a precisely designed 99-OPAMP parallel architecture.

The use case of VMV P2 MK2 is not limited to just headphones, it features ultra-precise volume adjustment with advanced potentiometer volume wheel and a three-level adjustable gain. The lowest gain mode is specifically designed for sensitive IEMs, they work flawlessly with no background hiss issue on the VMV P2 MK2. SMSL VMV P2 MK2 utilizes Gallium Nitride(GaN) technology for its power supply design. It offers a high-efficiency, low-noise power delivery system that promises a pitch-dark noise-free background in the output signal. The VMV P2 MK2 features a fully balanced 4-channel precision linear feedback circuit(PLFC+) which enables crystal clear output with excellent dynamics. With such a high-end hardware, the VMV P2 MK2 achieves an ultra-low distortion of 0.00006%, and a wide dynamic range of 135dB. Hear even the minutest of the detail with full precision on the VMV P2 MK2. The SMSL VMV P2 MK2 is a versatile desktop headphone amplifier with 4.4mm, 4-pin XLR, and 6.35mm headphone output ports. It can also be used as a pre-amplifier with XLR and RCA ports. SMSL has crafted both the VMV P2 MK2 as well as the D2R MK2 with great precision and craftsmanship.
