Offering up to 230 Watts per channel in 4 ohms and 110 Watts in 8 Ohms, this Little Big Amp should drive pretty much anything, including stand-floor speakers with utmost authority and control. Today I’m raising the bar much higher as I will be testing their most powerful amplifier as of yet. Last year I’ve tested their entry-level DA-8S integrated amplifier that easily drove two pairs of bookshelf loudspeakers with a lot of headroom to spare. They had several attempts at high-end audio with their VMV series, but in all fairness, SMSL is best known for their affordable stuff that anybody could get and I already covered plenty of that. Clearly, SMSL has a much bigger interest in traditional Hi-Fi than in personal audio.
They already have 13 speaker amplifiers of all sorts under their belts, out of which 6 were released in less than 6 months or so. The golden trinity of the East might be competing for the best D/A converters and headphone amplifiers at less than one grand, but when it comes to integrated and power amplifiers, SMSL Audio is the undisputed and uncontested champion.
