SMSL has released the DA1 , a miniature desktop power amplifier that weighs only 230 grams .
The new product is built on an integrated assembly TPA3118 from Texas Instruments , allowing the amplifier to develop power up to 65 watts per channel with a 4-ohm load resistance. The 530 mV input sensitivity allows the use of a wide variety of signal sources, including portable ones, and the power supply uses a special solution that protects the speakers from surge when turned on.
The device operates from a 24 V mains adapter; one pair of RCA connectors is provided for connection to the signal source; high-quality screw terminals are used for the speaker cable. The amplifier dimensions are only 96 x 30.6 x 102 mm .
The SMSL DA1 Stereo Amplifier can be purchased online with a retail price starting at $49.99.
