The SMSL PL200 MK2 is a top loading CD player with an ESS ES9039Q2M DAC, MQA CD support, a USB DAC input, a balanced headphone amplifier and two way Bluetooth. The SMSL PL200 MK2 is a top loading CD player with an ESS ES9039Q2M DAC, MQA CD support, a USB DAC input, a balanced headphone amplifier and two way Bluetooth.The PL200 MK2 puts a CD transport, a high resolution DAC and a capable headphone amplifier into one compact aluminium chassis. Discs load from the top under a clear cover, and the SMSL PASS servo is designed to isolate the mechanism from vibration. Standard CDs and MQA CDs are supported, with full MQA unfolding.Conversion is handled by the ESS ES9039Q2M chip with two low phase noise clocks and the CK03 clock circuit. The same DAC serves the USB input, so the player also works as a computer DAC up to 768kHz and DSD512. Bluetooth 5.1 both receives and transmits, so you can send a CD to wireless headphones.For a separate DAC, Transport Mode switches off the analogue circuits and feeds the optical and coaxial outputs, and an external 44.1kHz or 10MHz clock can be used. Line outputs are balanced XLR and RCA, with 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm headphone sockets.Main featuresTop loading CD transport with SMSL PASS servo and MQA CD unfoldingESS ES9039Q2M DAC with CK03 clock circuitUSB DAC input, PCM to 768kHz and DSD512Bluetooth 5.1 receive and transmit, LDAC, aptX HD, aptX, AAC and SBCTransport Mode for use with an external DACExternal clock input, 44.1kHz or 10MHzHeadphone amplifier with 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm outputs, up to 1.5W per channelXLR, RCA, optical and coaxial outputsColour IPS display, remote control, JAS Hi Res Audio certificationTechnical specificationsDAC chipESS ES9039Q2MDisc formatsCD, MQA CDInputsCD, USB, Bluetooth 5.1, external clockOutputsXLR, RCA, coaxial, optical, 4.4mm and 3.5mm headphone, Bluetooth transmitTHD+N0.000079% (122dB)Dynamic range127dBSignal to noise ratio124dBHeadphone powerUp to 1.5W x 2 into 16 ohmsHeadphone gainLow +4dB, high +8dBUSB44.1kHz to 768kHz, DSD512Bluetooth codecsLDAC, aptX HD, aptX, AAC, SBCPower consumption10W, standby below 0.5WDimensions200 x 47.9 x 175mm (W x H x D)Weight1.579kgFinishSilverBuying from Dreamcrest AudioDreamcrest Audio Fidelity Ltd is an authorised SMSL dealer with around twenty years in the high end audio business.
