S.M.S.L × MOONDROP DHA15 All-in-One DAC / AMP

A flagship desktop all-in-one DAC and headphone amplifier born from the collaboration between MOONDROP and SMSL — featuring dual CS43198 DAC chips, XLR/RCA/USB inputs, fully balanced 4-pin XLR headphone and pre-amp outputs, and a measured SNR of 131dB. Built for audiophiles who demand reference-grade desktop performance.

The S.M.S.L × MOONDROP DHA15 is a landmark collaboration that brings together MOONDROP’s acoustic tuning philosophy and SMSL’s proven desktop electronics engineering. Dual Cirrus Logic CS43198 flagship DAC chips operate in a balanced dual-mono configuration, delivering a THD+N of -122dB (0.00007%) and a dynamic range of 131dB. With XLR, RCA, and USB-C inputs, plus headphone and pre-amp outputs in balanced 4.4mm, 4-pin XLR, and 6.35mm single-ended, the DHA15 is equally at home driving sensitive IEMs, demanding full-size headphones, or a pair of desktop speakers as a preamplifier.

Key Features

  • Dual Cirrus Logic CS43198 — Flagship DAC Performance: Two CS43198 chips in a balanced dual-mono configuration deliver a noise floor and dynamic range (131dB SNR) that rivals dedicated separates. The result is a black background, precise imaging, and faithful reproduction of every detail in your recordings.
  • Triple Input Flexibility — XLR, RCA & USB-C: The DHA15 accepts dual 3-pin XLR balanced, dual RCA single-ended, and USB-C digital inputs, making it compatible with virtually any source — from a PC or Mac to a CD transport or network streamer. Switch between pure DAC, pure amplifier, or full DAC/AMP modes as your system demands.
  • Fully Balanced Headphone & Pre-Amp Outputs: Both the headphone and pre-amp output stages offer 4.4mm balanced (Pentaconn), 4-pin XLR balanced, and 6.35mm single-ended connections. The balanced outputs deliver up to 15W × 2 (into 16Ω) — enough headroom for even the most demanding planar magnetic headphones.
  • Output Power for Any Headphone: With 1000mW × 2 into 300Ω (balanced) and 550mW × 2 into 600Ω, the DHA15 drives everything from ultra-sensitive IEMs to high-impedance dynamic drivers with authority and control. Three gain settings per output type (balanced and single-ended) allow precise matching to your headphones.
  • Independent Grounding Design: An additional independent grounding terminal allows the use of grounding accessories, further reducing noise and interference for an even purer signal path — a thoughtful feature for those who prioritize system-level noise management.
  • Desktop Versatility — DAC, AMP, or Pre-Amp: The DHA15 functions as a standalone USB DAC, a pure amplifier for an external DAC, or a full-featured preamplifier feeding powered speakers or a power amplifier — making it the single hub of a high-performance desktop audio system.
