Hey guys, was looking at getting a budget Dac for my desktop system and after a bit of research the SMSL Sanskrit 10th MK II seems like a great option in its price range.

"These mini "pocket" DACs are changing the game with their excellent performance and budget prices. There is really no excuse to use sub-par DACs or spend orders of magnitude for boutique DACs with far worse performance.

I am happy to put SMSL Sanskrit 10th MK II DAC on my recommended list."

Very well reviewed especially for the price. Regular price $162.80. The cheapest I can find it elsewhere is $160.31 from Shenzen Audio & $169 from Amazon. This deal for $130.24 + 2.93 postage (15-25 business days) seems like a good saving.

Group buy just requires 1 other person to get the discount.

Not sure if there are many budget audiophiles out here but thought I'd post and see.

Thanks for reading!

    Is there a link? I can only see price as AU$162.80, and no mention of bluetooth.

      I can see it on my android browser and the Banggood app. Maybe try one of those. Sorry, no Bluetooth, my bad. Will edit.

    Actually on second thoughts I might be better off getting the newer SMSL SA-300 for $219 on Amazon. Newer chip, more power, if you can live without the optical input.

    I would need to buy an amp anyway.

    Still a good deal if anyone is looking for a small dedicated DAC.

      Which speakers are you driving?

      • Coolie on 02/07/2020 - 10:46

        The Audioengine P4's from the deal the other week. Not entirely sure how much power I need but I'm sure it'll by fine for PC usage.

          You might want to consider the AD18 which might be enough especially since you'll just be using it for desktop use. Here's a comparison from Joentell.

            @Ryanek: Oh interesting, thanks for this. I have some thinking to do.

    Another pointless DAC that sounds exactly the same as most DACs including $2 commodity DACs that go into most devices.

    If it gets this cheap again I'm selling my Modius and switching over to this DAC.
