sMS-200ultra

 The sMS-200ultra is an upgraded network player equipped with a dedicated media player board and a high performance audio clock, born from SOtM’s years of experience.

 Improving upon the great reviews and user feedback on the sMS-200, the sMS-200ultra has been designed to include the sCLK-EX clock — the heart of this superior piece of digital audio equipment. This new combination brings dramatic improvement to your sound. If you’ve been enjoying the great performance of the sMS-200, the addition of the sCLK-EX will enhance your experience beyond the usual limitations of traditional small source devices.

 Use the master clock connector option to sync the sMS-200ultra with an external master clock device such as a Rubidium clock. This feature has the potential to redefine your perception of sound from small network players.

 The sMS-200ultra is a digital technology device, but because it is based on SOtM’s deep understanding of analog technology, it can be defined as one of the few high-performance digital audio devices that performs superior analog sound.

 With cutting edge technology providing the newly adapted heart to the sMS-200, the sMS-200ultra is born. Impress yourself with truly beautiful music.

sMS-200ultra Neo

 The sMS-200 Neo is the updated model to our previously very successful sMS-200. While the original model sounded very neutral and balanced, the changes brought about by the updated sMS-200 Neo will mostly be perceived as a more relaxed presentation. Although the standard sMS-200 is already an overachiever, the sMS-200 Neo retains this while still adding an extra dose of musicality to the party.

FAQ

 For a stable network connection, we recommend using a gigabit speedy router and above CAT6 Ethernet cable, and we proudly and strongly recommend the dCBL-CAT7, iSO-CAT6 or dCBL-CAT6 in such network audio system

  Also, the dedicated USB audio device as like sHP-100 or sDP-1000EX can present most detailed, high textured sound and high resolution with sMS-200. And to enhance the quality on USB output, we recommend using tX-USBhubEX together with sMS-200, then you will be able to hear  the upgraded and improved sound quality .

Just in case, the external USB storage is detected in LMS web interface as USB1 or USB2 but if you can’t find the music file, go to LMS Settings -> Basic settings tab  -> Rescan Media Folders and click Apply. And then the music file will be shown and able to play.

If still having the problem after you apply the above method, please stop and start Squeezelite function on Eunhasu Web GUI.

Thank you.

We recommend using Chrome browser to enter Eunhasu Web GUI. 

Open Chrome browser on a PC or smart device and connect to “http://eunhasu” (without quotation marks) or its IP address.

Depends on your network environment, such symptom can be appeared.

Please check your network environment is stable.We highly recommend using a gigabit speedy router and above CAT6 Ethernet cable for the stable network audio system, also if you use a bundle type of router, we don’t recommend using it.

To turn on the sMS-200ultra properly, press the front led about 1 second. And to turn off the sMS-200ultra, click the System power off button on the System setup icon or press the front led about 1 second. 

Do not press the front led in succession, this behavior makes the unit turn on and off repeatedly and seems the unit works abnormal. Once press the front lend, and wait around 3 minuets.
