CompareSMSL M400 vs Schiit Yggdrasil

The SMSL M400 MQA DAC uses the newest high performing D/A chip from AKM, the AK4499. It supports MQA decoding, PCM 32bit / 768 kHz, and DSD512 Native. It supports UAT files, comes with a high-end power supply, and includes a jitter clock design. The M400 has USB, Optical, Coaxial, Bluetooth, and IIS inputs. For outputs, it has RCA and XLR capability. Finally, it comes with a remote control for ease of use from a distance.

Forget everything you know about DACs. Yggdrasil's unique True Multibit architecture delivers 21 bits of resolution with no approximations or guessing. True Multibit eschews delta-sigma D/As and their embedded digital filters, combining medical-grade multibit D/A converters with a unique time- and frequency-domain optimized digital filter that preserves the original samples.
