How To Choose the Right SMSL Gear

1. Match to your speakers and source — Do you have passive speakers needing a power amp, or powered monitors needing just a DAC/headphone amp?
2. Check compatibility & resolution — Are you streaming high-res files? Do you need USB, Bluetooth, network input, balanced outputs, etc?
3. Setup purpose — Desktop listening? Home Hi-Fi? Studio monitoring? Choose accordingly.
4. Future proofing — SMSL’s modular offerings make upgrading easier (e.g., start with the DAC now, add a power amp later).
5. Check local support & warranty — At The Audio Cave we can assist with South Africa-specific support, pairing advice and demo setups.
