All in all, there are small compromises that needed to be made to achieve such a low price point, but its digital and analog sections are looking very good, so I’m expecting some nice sonics out of it. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s dive in and listen to some tunes! I'll give you that Chord is somewhat "boutique" in that they use FPGAs to do all the work but that's also a proven solution. Chords claim to fame was also the Mojo which did things better and cheaper than it's competitors despite going the less traveled way on it.
With two design awards, the DX5 is made with two-tone rounded chassis that puts the face slightly proud of the rest. To make a case for the SU-9 Pro looking barer at first glance, it has a full-color display as its main design element.
There have been more than one review where it was flat out stated that listening impressions were not done, just benchmarks. Looks like we started a trend to achieve perfection in desktop DACs and the SMSL SU-9 is yet another example of that. We have another great "instrument grade" DAC on our hands providing absolute transparency to the source beyond any threshold of human hearing. If you are hearing issues I suggest you either have your hearing examined, or learn to do a proper controlled test. Either way, what you hear is what is on your recording. Guaranteed! It’s good to be attractively and robustly made and feature some perks like a legible screen and remote control. A reasonable price tag also helps.
El sonido general del SU-9 es bastante suave, pero no equivale automáticamente a que se le pase por alto. Tiene una buena dinámica en la región de los graves y unos agudos suaves y detallados. Audio DAC SMSL SU 9 Balanced con soporte MQA especificaciones ¿Vale la pena comprar el DAC? Nuestro veredicto El SMSL SU-9 es un DAC con una gran variedad de conexiones de entrada y salida que se puede utilizar en cualquier equipo de escritorio.See above for reasons why. As to "proof" what kind of proof do you require? ASR's Audio Precision tests don't really tell you anything useful aside from pointing out glaring flaws or defective units. Blind listening tests to the scale that would constitute a reasonable definition of proof are hard because you have to control for so many different variables and the difficulties of how people process and recall auditory memory.

The SU-9 Pro is simply the more mature of the two losing some of the treble energy of the DO100 while still sounding similarly big and energetic.The analog section of the SU-9 Pro got an upgrade as well in terms of op-amp count. The older ones only received three OPA1612A which is now almost quadrupled at eleven. The whole process of unboxing is short and simple, to make you able to listen to the SMSL SU-9 as soon as possible after the courier leaves.
