SMSL SU-X Dual Digital to Analog (DAC)

The SMSL SU-X Dual Digital to Analog Converter represents a significant step forward in high-fidelity audio reproduction, offering studio-grade performance for the discerning listener. Designed to bridge the gap between digital sources and analogue amplification, this DAC is ideal for audiophiles building a reference-quality system, home studio engineers requiring precise monitoring, or anyone seeking to extract every nuance from their digital music library. Its robust connectivity makes it equally suited to desktop setups and traditional hi-fi racks.

At the heart of the SU-X lies a dual ESS ES9039MSPRO chipset configuration, which delivers exceptional channel separation and an extraordinarily low noise floor. The converter handles PCM resolutions up to 768kHz at 32-bit via USB, alongside native DSD support reaching 22.5792MHz. For digital inputs, optical and coaxial connections accept PCM up to 192kHz at 24-bit, while DoP64 is supported on these inputs and DoP256 via USB. Wireless streaming is equally impressive, with Bluetooth incorporating LDAC at 24-bit/96kHz, aptX-HD, aptX, AAC, and SBC codecs for versatile, high-quality playback. The signal-to-noise ratio is specified at an outstanding level, ensuring pristine clarity across the entire frequency range. Housed in a compact chassis measuring 250 x 51 x 217mm, the SU-X combines cutting-edge engineering with refined build quality, making it a compelling choice for those who demand the very best from their digital audio.
