About the SU-X
The SMSL SU-X is a high-end desktop DAC and preamp designed for audiophiles who want very low distortion, wide format support, and flexible digital connectivity. It uses dual ESS ES9039MS PRO DAC chips in a balanced architecture, a 3rd-generation XMOS XU-316 USB interface, and SMSL’s CK-03 clock processing to reduce jitter. It supports MQA and MQA-CD decoding, native DSD512, PCM up to 32-bit/768 kHz, and Bluetooth 5.1 with high-resolution codecs. Reviews describe it as highly resolving, neutral, and capable as a preamp, with strong measurement performance and premium build quality.
