You'll probably find a post here somewhere where I said exactly what you're saying. When I just had the 200, I did prefer AIR 3 beta slightly. With a 220 Pro and now a 440 Pro, I'm leaning more toward USB via uRendu. So I think I agree that the USB on the Pro sounds better, but whether they actually changed the USB integration or it's just the result of the way the Pro sounds, I can't say. Hell, it could also just be my imagination. As I said, I think I would be totally happy with AIR 3 beta now if I had never bought the uRendu. RE: SOtM SMS-200 - octaviars - 28-Feb-2017 Is the name Ultra the name given by Sotm to the new SMS-200 or something that someone made up? Cant find much info on this. RE: SOtM SMS-200 - Antoine - 01-Mar-2017 It's not yet been formally introduced yet by SOtM so that's why there's little to be found about it. But is has been shared with a customer of SOTM (Romaz who is active on CA). Just wait a bit, we should know more in April.

RE: SOtM SMS-200 - Antoine - 01-Mar-2017 Just look up Romaz's posts on CA, you'll then know as much as anyone can here.

There is actually something new on their site, but it is not integrated with sms-200. https://www.sotm-audio.com/sotmwp/english/portfolio-item/tx-usbultra/ RE: SOtM SMS-200 - octaviars - 04-Mar-2017 (02-Mar-2017, 18:33)mirekti Wrote:(01-Mar-2017, 20:21)Antoine Wrote: Just look up Romaz's posts on CA, you'll then know as much as anyone can here. Is this equal to a Regen? Seems the price is 900 Dollars if the Sotm US page is right. https://sotm-usa.com/collections/featured-combo/products/tx-usbultra-regenerator Also the upcoming PSU. https://sotm-usa.com/products/sms-500 RE: SOtM SMS-200 - SwissBear - 07-Mar-2017 (01-Mar-2017, 20:21)Antoine Wrote: Just look up Romaz's posts on CA, you'll then know as much as anyone can here. Hi Antoine, Any guess whether the benefits of the improved clock of SOtM, which seem very audible in the case of an USB fed DAC, will be as audible in a configuration such as yours, with a Mutec which is already reclocking before feeding into the Devialet ? RE: SOtM SMS-200 - sam1000 - 17-Mar-2017 I got LPS-1 yesterday and I'm delighted with the combo now (SMS-200 + Mutec USB MC3 + LSP-1). I now totally concur with Antoine that people should budget for a decent(not uber expensive) PS like LPS-1 along with SMS-200 to get full benefit of a player. The sound is even more life like with good micro dynamics and separation of instruments. The soundstage widened quite a bit. Sometimes I had to hit the pause button to check whether few sound effects were really coming from speakers while listening to Floyd. Before I got my PS, the sound improved a bit by changing to ROON from SMS lite. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me, but the sound was relatively flat using SMS lite. Anyone else experienced this with SMS-200?

Well, you can't get a much better outcome than that I don't think! |
