It's strange to see that some issues are popping up with the USB port. The only cable I had feel kinda stuck was the stock cable. I tried two audioquest cables and a few other standard USB B cables with no issues. Fingers crossed you get that cable out without damage.
S.M.S.L SU-9 DAC has dropped at SHENZHENAUDIO store timely, with ES9038PRO chip and MQA supported

I gave up trying to remove it, as I didn't want to risk it breaking the port. If I can't find a tool, it will just stay there forever.

My optical cable was difficult to remove when I first got it, still not "easy" to extract. I take needle nose pliers and lever it against the edge of the unit enclosure, bit by bit, until it gets past the "notch" in the plug. Careful patience, don't jerk, will break. I don't take it out unless I have to though.

Same brand for the USB cable, you are right this is bad especially because mine is just 50cm long
, which is a problem with positioning. Probably, if you pull hard the cable will get out of the socket as mine did, but I totally understand your reason to not doing that

Yeah my cable is 2M, so it will be connected forever lol. No way I am pulling any harder to remove it. I hope SMSL looks into this issue, moving forward

Hola, tengo una mac y tengo el smsl su9, pero quiero ver cómo se configuraría el dac para el uso del mqa en Roon, ¿podrían apoyarme?

Is the sound quality from this DAC at least as good as anything out there at the moment? I'm looking to upgrade my Topping D50 and need a mid-priced MQA DAC.

It's better than the D50, in build quality, noise background, preamp output voltage, display quality, and off "memory" its a better sounding unit. If that's worth the extra coin, ummm debatable. Under $500, it's a great option over anything else on the market right now.
Does anyone else have any issues getting past 384hz in PCM mode with the SU9?
I imagine you have the xmos ASIO drivers installed?
Yes, in Asio mode its stuck at 44100.
In Windows on SMSL USB Dac its stuck at 384khz
Oh. Have you tried any music players like Audirvana? I can only upscale past the windows 384khz when using a program that can do exclusive access to the DAC.
Yes, in Asio mode its stuck at 44100.
In Windows on SMSL USB Dac its stuck at 384khz
Using foobar sacd dsd stuff all installed and configured.
I'll try audirvana.
So are you getting 768khz on your su9?
Yup, I always had issues on older DACs with foobar and ended up going Audirvana and never had issues with upscaling.

Change the settings in windows speaker properties/settings/advanced, then edit the drop down settings.
