The RAW-HA1 is an integrated amplifier with built-in DAC and streamer from SMSL, built into a remarkably compact and lightweight chassis with comprehensive functionality. The RAW-HA1 brings SMSL's value-focused engineering to a complete integrated streaming solution.
Key specs that matter
One balanced XLR input is provided. Input sensitivity is 245mV, with input impedance at 22k ohms balanced. Output power is 2 x 85W into 8 ohms, rising to 2 x 165W into 4 ohms. Signal-to-noise ratio is 108dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at an exceptionally low 0.003%. At a remarkably compact 219 x 45 x 190mm and just 1.55kg, the RAW-HA1 is among the lightest streaming integrated amplifiers currently available for its considerable output capability.
Sound and use context
Expect clean amplification reflecting the strong 108dB signal-to-noise and low 0.003% distortion figures, packed into a remarkably compact and lightweight chassis with convenient built-in DAC and streaming functionality.
Pairing
The built-in DAC and streamer cover digital and network sources directly without needing separate outboard components.
Alternatives
SMSL's own VMV A1 Pro offers a dedicated power amplifier alternative for buyers wanting a separates-based approach instead.
