SMSL DP3 Hifi Audio Wifi Player DAC with Bluetooth LAN Network USB SD AES Inputs and Balanced and Unbalanced Headphone Jack Out

This is amazing little product. Considering its cost, it is fantastic value. It is not the most elegant piece of equipment but then it costs less than £200.It arrived in what looked like flimsy packaging, but was obviously adequate as it arrived in perfect condition having travelled from China without damage.Easy to hook up although the instruction manual detail is very sparse. It only makes proper sense once you’ve read it several times.The display is very small, which is ok when you are sitting close like when using headphones but not when listening through speakers. For this you need to use a phone app then it is fine.The remote has to be synced with the unit for it to work. This you do by pressing the button B.The DAC is good and the volume can be controlled by the app, remote or the dial on the front. However, the dial is a little hit and miss as there are 2 positions per click, so it’s better to avoid using it.Controlling the nas drive is also easier on the app as the menu system on the machine is long winded. Haven’t tried using music stored on a usb stick, so can’t comment on how effective it is.The sound quality is brilliant through headphones. I am finding it a little thin on bass when running speakers and careful choice of cables is needed to control the brightness of the higher notes otherwise it becomes very bright.Bluetooth also works well.If you can cope with the small display then it is a product well worth trying.All in all, an excellent product.

Not interested in streaming etc. Connected my music via micro sd and external hard drive. I use the Android app Hiby to play the music and turn the volume up and down. I found this one of the few all in one media players to do this. I am using this via phono cables connected to my nearly 40 year amp. Sound quality good but i don't think as good as my £26 u-phono ufo202 dac via laptop or my old Marantz cd player, but will do for now.

Absolutely brilliant. Needed a device to stream DSD from a Synology NAS to an optical output. Works totally flawless. A great device.

Great if you want to play music stored on an SD card but totally useless trying to connect to DNLA server on computer. Customer service equally useless. Cannot access the network folders as unit is asking for login credentials even though the server is not password protected. The answer I got from SMSL customer services was to leave both fields blank. This solution does not work.Hiby app is even more useless than the DP3 device. Constantly crashing. Just wish I never bought this piece of sh*t.

I really wanted to like this device – been looking for a small simple network player for a while now. I have other streamers around the house including a Cyrus unit in the lounge and also a Yamaha which both work flawlessly with my Qnap NAS …This little very well made and good looking player will NOT play ball for NAS streaming. Constant glitching and 0.5 to 1 second drop outs make it impossible to use as intended. These occur on both WiFi and Cabled LAN connections. It does play fine from a USB stick shoved up it’s rear, but that’s not what I wanted it for.Have tried firmware upgrade to no avail and even a friends NAS, same problem.Pros:Well made all metal case workSounds very good to me with FLAC files and 320 MP3sNo wall wart needed, mains straight in ..Remote basic but goodCons:Useless as network playerGapless is far from smoothAlbum artwork completely obscures track infoJog knob over sensitive and very frustratingTerrible control app (Hiby Link) if installed on my Galaxy S9 wrecks Bluetooth connect ion to my car, have had to uninstall it – anyhow you can’t use it for NAS playback control it only sees USB or SD card music .. StupidShame, because I tend to like Chinese niche products – Sometimes they outpace the big names …. This one don’t!

Very good product.Excellent salesman, highly recommend!
