SOtM sMS 200 Neo Review (My favorite little streamer)

Good morning, is there a video to connect Daphile to SOtM? A thousand thanks

Thank you for your useful information. Is it possible to install this player in Audirvana other than Roon?

Can I use my Ifi Power 12V adapter on my Neo Streamer? I know the streamer is rated at 9.25V. Will I be giving it too much voltage? Thanks.

So finally i recived my SMS-200 recently. I am just going crazy over one thing and that is instrument separation. Every time i sit down and listen my system all i am asking to my self again and again what is the technical explanation of a streamer to stream a music through same dac and same amp but huge noticeable instrument separation. I love the way it looks and feels beside the streams it's a beautiful brick 😁.

Please lose that ugly couch

imo this fantastic sotm sms-200 neo is better paired with the uptone LPS 1.2 Power supply, just amazing and really much better than the sbooster ;)

I'm thinking of adding this to my RME Ada 2 fs, once I get it. Just ordered the RME.

Can it interface with Idagio and Qobuz?

Can only agree with Keystone below, nice and simple, will have to do a bit more research, at the moment using a mini pc with MusicBee, preferred to Foobar2000 which I'd been using before.

This is a digital transport only, yet you comment on sound quality and the audio presentation?! This is more about your DAC, not the SMS 200.

I have this one used as Roon endpoint. Every time I want to listen to music, it's offline. I had to restart it by unplugging the power. SOTM has not had answers for this. If anyone knows, let me know. I have another similar product from Sonore called MicroRendu v1.5 and never had that problem.

But SotM has also one of the cheapest lookin Websites i´ve ever seen.
If this presentation also reflect the quality of the Products i say: Good Night.
EDIT:
And i give you another reason to stay away from products like this.
SoTM offers this streamers or what it is and on the other hand powersupplys
wich are expecier than the unit itself.
What tells me this?
For me it is easy to see: create a product with a bad powersupply
and from this moment on you have a licens to print money.
Because your product will NEVER been as good as it could.
Smart? I dont think so.
I think that this reflected what SoTM think about his customers.

Great video, I just ordered a sms200 neo and the 9v sBooster ultra. I'm going to run my iMac with Audirvana. Do I select dlna and is it just initial set-up or will I have to go to that website every time? Thanks

Hi guys, I’m not sure to take the mini or the ultra? And also for the linear power supply sbs 500. Is the ultra and the power supply worth the money? Nice evening from Germany! David

Just found your channel. Good stuff! You said it sounds better than streamer from your PC. How much better and how? Thanks!

This product is very confusing and really lacking in information about some specific areas. For example if I choose external word-clock, does it also come with an internal one, or I need to spend an aditional 3500$ to the original 1900$ for product and psu, does it actually recognize the DAC or has something similar with ASIO? For flac up to 24/96 doesn't really matter, but I don't buy 1200 - 8000$ streaming sistem (with word-clock, usb filter, and 3 clock cables, and PSU for everything) to play that. I am building a DSD capable system, and Iit is called direct stream for a reason. Also can I plug in another ssd storage and play DSD out of the sms 200 or I need another server that will cost another 1200-1500$ with software. Huge amount of money on just assumptions.

So sooo soooooo helpful. Thanks.

Nice clear review thank you !!
I have a Dali Compact Hub I would like to get Tidal Masters into.... wondering if this Neo is the way to go ?.

Can this streamer be used for Tidal or Qobuz? Thanks.

Truly an amazing piece of equipment is the sMS200 Neo. Why am I throwing mine in the bin? Well, trying to log into eunhasu.local takes an absolute age. When it finally gets connected to the elusive SOtM server, one has to spend even longer to log into the Logitech Squeezelite. After a long day at work I just want to listen to music, not battle against trying to log into it. To frustrating in my case. So, whilst I would dearly love to keep mine as the sound is I think the best $450 one can spend on a streamer, it just has to go before I throw it out of the window. Nice review BTW.
