Legendary R-2R DAC Chipset
S.M.S.L has opted classic R-2R resistor ladder circuit for the digital to analog conversion with the VMV D3. They have featured four pieces of American BB’s legendary PCM1704U-J R-2R chip. There are two chips arranged for each channel presenting a fully balanced design for the user. Each channel uses two independent chips, that helps the brand churn out maximum performance from each chip.
Professional Circuit With High-End Digital Filter Chip
S.M.S.L VMV D3 is equipped with a high-performance SM5847 digital filter chip. It is a top-class chip with 2-channel digital processing, oversampling/interpolation filter, 3-stage linear-phase FIR configuration, and many more filter options offering the users a wide variety of digital filters to choose from.
Latest-Generation XMOS USB Signal Processor
For seamless USB signal decoding, the S.M.S.L VMV D3 uses XMOS’s latest generation 16-core XU216 USB signal receiver chip. It enables the device to support high-resolution audio signal decoding up to 32-Bit/768kHz PCM and native DSD512 over asynchronized USB connection.
Dual Independent Crystal Oscillators
S.M.S.L VMV D3 uses 2 independent ACCUSILICONE ultra-low phase noise crystal oscillators in the Clock system. It offers a jitter-free clock system combined with ALTERA’s high-speed CPLD to process the clock system. The DAC also has built-in low clock jitter VCXO and PLL technologies and also has support for external digital clocks.
High-Performance Components For Top-Class Performance
S.M.S.L VMV D3 is a premium audiophile-grade Desktop DAC that is equipped with top-of-the-line components on its motherboard. S.M.S.L has used seven high-performance OPA1612 OPAMPs for a clean and low-distortion output. The power supply circuitry is specially developed with low-noise discrete components ensuring quality performance for the users.
