So that's when i went searching for a reasonably priced amp and stumbled across this.The SMSL M6 paired with HD600 headphones showed me parts of music i had not heard before, it was like listening to music all over again. Absolutely superb!I thought i would try a test on this device also, so i did a A/B test against my phone run into a PA system, just to see if there was any difference in the DAC side of things. WOW! Music compared to my mobile just came alive and i was not expecting the bass to change the way it did. From my phones songs had flabby bass (i thought this was caused by my amp) but from the SMSL M6, the bass seemed like it was under control, everything note perfect and bass super smooth. It was like listening to different speakers and i thought my PA kit was just very low end, but by improving the source, it now sounds smooth and clear.I have the SMSL set to 24bit/192khz in windows, and have tried many source files, from high end Flac (400mb a song) all the way down to MP3 at 192khz. As much as people say there is a difference in quality, the gains are so small, its not really worth taking much notice off. Using spotify premium (320kbps) i found my most played songs sounded muddy....so i found the Flac equivalent to have the same muddy sound. What i learnt is that the file quality is nothing compared to how the song was recorded. Songs that have time put into the mastering/recording sound amazing, you will listen for hours but songs that have bad mastering, or maybe mastered for in-ear head phones sound terrible, and a nice setup will show this up, and i have never noticed this before until buying the equipment above.There are many different DAC's out there, all different prices but this to me sounds incredible if you like a natural as recorded sound. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by T***T on 4 November 2018* It drives my DT880 (250) very well. The only thing I don't like about this product is the button. There is only one button for everything and it's very tricky to switch it off. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SMSL M6 top price/sound/quality device *by M***. on 1 September 2017* Really good device for the price. Compared to my old Creative XFi HD it produces really clear and more pure sound. It is perfect for lossless file formats like .flac. And you need some good headphones, my ATH-M40X are good but with this device I started to wonder if there will be better sound from more advanced headphones.So if you have some high quality songs or better albums and dont want to spend 300 bucks only for AMP/DAC combo buy this and you will still have enough money for good headphones. I definitely recommend as a BEST price/sound/quality device.P.s.: My old Creative is used only for games today. :) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/56625475-smsl-m6-32bit-768khz-dac-usb-optical-decoder-digital-to](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/56625475-smsl-m6-32bit-768khz-dac-usb-optical-decoder-digital-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
