It has been past a long period since SU-8 was launched, recently, SMSL is ready for releasing the upgraded version, SU-9.

It's priced $439.99 will be officially launched at 10:00 am (UTC+8) on September 30th, at the same time, pre-order would be opened at that time, and about to delivered on October 10th. Different from SU-8, the previous generation, the overall design of SU-9 is more fashionable, not only greatly improves other parameters, but also adds the most popular MQA format at present. What’s worthing, It adapts ES9038PRO decoding chip, the top flagship performance of ESS Technology, supports Bluetooth 5.0 transmission as well.

Here some paraments come out:
Features:
Support MQA decoding;
The top product D/A chip ES9038PRO from ESS Technology;
The high-performance power supply chip ES9311, the noise of ES9311 is as low as 1uVrms, to drive ES9038PRO to the limit;
XMOS XU-208, true 32bit USB processing, supports DoP and Native DSD, and natively decoding up to DSD512 and PCM 32bit/768kHz;
Ultra-low phase noise and optimized clock processing circuit are used to achieve ultra-low clock jitter;
All inputs support DSD, including coaxial and optical (DoP64);
Use tempered glass display panel for higher light transmission and longer service life;
Built-in shielded, low-noise power processing, while improving power efficiency, lower power consumption;
Specially designed discrete component linear regulated power supply and multiple low-noise regulated power supplies to provide low-noise power for analog circuits.
High-quality gold-plated input and output jacks;
3pcs high-end dual op-amps OPA1612 and lots of audio fever components are used;
1.9 inch TFT LCD display;
JAS Hi-Res certification;
Equipped with remote control and full-function remote control.

This looks very good! Any plans to come out with an sh-9 to replace the sh-8? I would love to replace my current su8/sh-8 combo when a stack is available.

SH-9 has been announced by Shenzhen Audio on their Twitter or FB post if I'm not wrong. It has the same LCD panel as the SU-9

I almost purchase the M500 but when I saw Amirm's review of the SU-9, I'm sold. The SU-9 will pair perfectly with my JDS Labs Atom.

 

[Sherwood]

This sets a very aggressive price point for a DAC that, on paper, seems to feature the best of the best. DSD 512, MQA, AptX Bluetooth, a good-looking display, Xmos USB receiver, and balanced operation. Looks hard to beat, and Amir’s review certainly suggests it sounds perfect.

Does it have a remote?

 

[shenzhenaudio]

Does it have a remote?

Yes, here are the accessories.

Yep, the SH-9 will be released later.

I'm enjoying it so far filters are well implemented. System is USB out into Topping D10 -> Coax Out into SU-9 Vol set to 99 [Pre-Amp mode set to FIXED] Slow Linear Filter XLR Out -> Mojlnir CCS Modded SRM-007tA -> ES Lab ES-1A

Being that the modius is simply a straight DAC without all the bells and whistles of the the SU-9, do you feel the extra features in the SU-9 are worth twice the price of a modius?

 

[TylersEclectic]

Here is @Resolve review of this DAC

 

[Makiah S]

Which reminds I posted mine yesterday

 

[Currawong]

My review is up. I've compared it to the M200 and Chord Mojo primarily.
