SMSL AD18 adopts the most advanced BT 4.2 version, which is more stable and faster in transmission. This device supports apt-X., a codec or a code /decode algorithm, that packs a digital audio signal into a smaller amount of data transmission bandwidth or data storage than the signal. The AD18 also features a built-in NFC function.
AD18 characterizes a precise digital amplify circuit. With this circuit, all analog signal can convert to digital signal to make PHASE of input and output signal keep same. When the phase shift is zero, this unit would feature strong anti-interference ability and high efficiency up to 90%.
Equipped with TAS5508C for digital signal DSP processing and Pre-Amp and TAS5342A for digital signal rear-AMP, which will be through LC filter and then send to amplifier output jack, the AD18 features a digital receiving chip CS8422 as a signal convertor. This chip can help receive optical and coaxial signal and all signal transfer.
Paired with powerful USB output ports and input jacks, SMSL AD18 comes with a USB chip TAS1020B supporting stereo sound 16bit/24bit and sampling rate up to 96kHz. For much better sound, the AD18 employs SDPI output instead of internal DAC output design featuring strong/anti-interference ability and more High-Fidelity. Besides, there is an HP Amplifier Chip: MAX97220A Analog/Digital convertorIC:CS5341, which is accurate to 24-bit 48kHz.It can help convert AUX signal to digital signal.
With such attractive, durable and compact design, SMSL AD18 is made from high accuracy CNC advance angle process. This device is smaller and more convenient. It is worth mentioning that CNC finish looks flat but comfortable and topping.
