SMSL PL200T: CD transport made for audiophiles

The SMSL PL200T is an advanced CD transport designed for audiophiles who appreciate superior digital sound quality. It features a proprietary PASS servo system that ensures rapid and precise disc reading while effectively managing vibrations. With comprehensive MQA-CD support, this device enables playback of audio files at resolutions up to 384 kHz through USB, and up to 192 kHz via SPDIF outputs.

The model provides a diverse array of output options, including optical, coaxial, I²S, and AES/EBU, which enhances compatibility with external DACs. It supports high-resolution audio formats, accommodating PCM up to 768 kHz and DSD up to 22.5792 MHz through I²S. The clock I/O feature, which supports 44.1 kHz and 10 MHz with 50/75 ohm impedance matching, ensures effective synchronization with external systems, while multiple low-phase crystals work to minimize jitter.

The SMSL PL200T is distinguished by its innovative playback mode featuring an open play design crafted from transparent acrylic, which not only protects the disc from dust but also adds a modern aesthetic to the unit. Its construction includes a robust aluminum chassis, precision-machined using CNC technology, and is enhanced by a tempered glass IPS display along with user-friendly control buttons styled like a piano. Additionally, it offers three power supply options—USB, DC, or AC—allowing for versatile usage.
