The SMSL VMV P1 is a high-end fully balanced desktop headphone amplifier from SMSL’s VMV line. It uses a discrete component output stage, TI electronic volume control, and a power supply physically separated from the audio circuitry to reduce interference and crosstalk. According to the manufacturer and retailer listings, it offers balanced and single-ended headphone outputs, multiple analog inputs, and very low measured distortion. Retailers currently describe the VMV P1 as end-of-life, indicating it is no longer manufactured.
