Up for sale is an SMSL AO300 Power Amplifier & DAC in as-new condition. It is just over 2 years old, meticulously looked after, and in 100% perfect working order and cosmetic condition. Comes complete with all original packaging, box, and accessories.This is an incredible all-in-one unit that...
This compact class-D integrated has a solid reputation for giving a lot of amp for the money, especially if you want a tidy all-in-one desktop or secondary-system solution. At A$330, it lands just above the A$324 median for recent AUD listings and a touch over the A$327 upper quartile, so the asking price is fair-to-slightly firm rather than a bargain.
That still makes it a sensible buy if the unit is clean and complete, because the AO300 is valued for punchy, modern-sounding power, useful connectivity, and straightforward daily usability. The real upside here is convenience: if the listing includes the remote, power supply, and original packaging, it becomes an easy plug-and-play pickup with little fuss, and the price is close enough to market that a well-kept example should justify itself.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
