R1
Gaming DAC and headphone amplifier

The SMSL R1 is the manufacturer's first DAC and headphone amplifier specially designed for gamers, which is suitable for gaming, listening to music and online communication. Thanks to the device's compact size, it can easily fit on a table or in a portable environment, while providing full-fledged sound processing. The main purpose of the R1 is for gamers to accurately perceive spatial sounds, while music lovers get a rich, customizable sound experience.

Spatial effect and gaming experience

R1 focuses on the player experience. Thanks to the built-in DAC and amplifier, gunshots, footsteps and ambient sounds are clearly separated from each other, helping to determine the exact direction. This is especially important in competitive games, where every small detail can be decisive. Low latency guarantees smooth and real-time sound reproduction, so the player always has an edge.

Versatile connectivity

The device offers three input options: USB, optical and coaxial. On the output side, it provides two headphone jacks (3.5 mm and 4.4 mm) and a line output that can be connected directly to active speakers or an external amplifier. Thanks to the built-in microphone input, team communication or streaming can also be easily solved, making the R1 an ideal choice for gamers and content creators alike.

Customizable sound

The device offers four preset EQ modes that the user can select according to their needs. In addition, the high and low range can be adjusted separately from -9 dB to +9 dB, so everyone can shape the sound image to their own taste. Whether it's powerful bass or clearer highs, the R1 adapts flexibly.

Compact but powerful design

The R1's small size (76 x 34.6 x 143.8 mm) makes it easy to carry, yet delivers 120 mW of power at 32 ohms, enough to drive most headphones. The robust construction and quality internal components - including precision resistors - guarantee stable operation and a long service life.

Design considerations and appearance

The R1 is remarkable not only from a technical point of view, but also from a design point of view. The elegant exterior and spectacular lighting make the device stand out on the table, while the mini housing ensures that it does not take up much space. The included screen protector protects the surface of the device from scratches.
