DESCRIPTION
ELEVATE YOUR AUDIO WITH THE ALL-NEW HIGH-PERFORMANCE DAC FROM SMSL- THE SU-9 ULTRA
SMSL launches its upgraded high-performance digital-to-analogue converter,
the all-new SU-9 ULTRA, designed to elevate your music listening experience to new heights. SMSL
has equipped the SU-9 ULTRA with MQA support, AK4191+AK4499EX chipset, 3rd generation XMOS XU316
chipset that provides DSD512 and PCM 32bit 768kHz support and Bluetooth 5.0 and LDAC
connectivity, all combined to provide versatility and convenience with your desktop setup. Along
with these elements, it features a remote control, with which you can effortlessly tailor your
listening experience to perfection. The SMSL SU-9 ULTRA is a meticulously engineered DAC to give
you an immersive listening experience in a world of high-resolution audio.
EXCEPTIONAL DECODING CAPABILITY WITH AK4191+AK4499EX AND XMOS XU-316 CHIPSET
The SMSL SU-9 ULTRA features the AK4191+AK4499EX duo paired with the XMOS
XU-316 chipset to deliver your music with remarkable clarity and fidelity. The AK4191+AK4499EX
in the SU-9 ULTRA guarantees audio clarity with an impressively low distortion level of just
0.00006% (-124dB), ensuring your listening experience remains free from unwanted noise or
distortion. Along with the XMOS XU-316, the SU-9 ULTRA permits a USB audio input. This advanced
32-bit USB solution supports both DoP and Native DSD formats, enabling it to process
high-resolution audio files with exceptional precision. The SSL SU-9 ULTRA ensures that every
nuance of your music is faithfully reproduced, with PCM support extending up to 768kHz and DSD
support reaching DSD512, delivering an unparalleled listening experience.
OFFERS MQA DECODING SUPPORT FOR AUTHENTIC SOUND DELIVERY
The SMSL SU-9 ULTRA features full MQA decoding support. When analogue sound
converts to a digital signal, it can result in recorded music sounding less lifelike compared to
live performances because of time blurring, which blurs transient signals over time, affecting
the clarity of the audio. The MQA technology in the SMSL SU-9 ULTRA solves this drawback, as it
eliminates distortion, creating a 3D sound field unlike anything you've heard before. The SMSL
SU-9 ULTRA achieves precise sound through the "musical origami" process, which manages
large-resolution files efficiently and ensures compatibility with any playback devices. This
technology also allows your CD player's digital output to connect to an MQA decoder, which
restores the original high-resolution studio-quality audio and verifies its authenticity using
an authentication signature. The SMSL SU-9 ULTRA supports MQA CD and offers full decoding for
MQA files through USB and SPDIF connections, ensuring you experience the highest quality audio
possible.
ELEVATED AUDIO QUALITY FUSED WITH ENHANCED CONNECTIVITY
The SMSL SU-9 ULTRA features an innovative CK-03 jitter processing circuit developed in-house, effectively reducing clock jitter for improved audio quality. It also equips built-in shielding and low-noise power processing, which enhances power efficiency and lowers power consumption. The SMSL SU-9 ULTRA also features a unique linear regulated power supply using discrete components and multiple low-noise regulated power supplies to ensure a clean and stable power supply for analogue circuits. It supports DSD signals through USB, Optical, and Coaxial inputs and offers output options such as RCA, XLR, and balanced outputs. The I/O connections feature high-end gold-plated interfaces for superior connectivity and signal transmission. The XLR output delivers 5Vrms, and the RCA output provides 2.5Vrms, achieving remarkable dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio to elevate your listening experience.
FREEDOM OF WIRELESS MUSIC STREAMING WITH BLUETOOTH 5.0 CONNECTIVITY
The SMSL SU-9 ULTRA features Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity support, allowing you to connect your
devices wirelessly. It supports a range of Bluetooth codecs such as SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, and
LDAC, ensuring high-quality audio transmission. You can enjoy your music with an effective
distance of up to 10 meters without the hassle of cables. The SU-9 ULTRA offers flexibility and
convenience to suit your listening preferences, whether you prefer standard Bluetooth audio or
high-resolution LDAC streaming. Furthermore, as a Hi-Res Audio certified product, the SU-9 ULTRA
promises exceptional sound quality, delivering an immersive music or audio listening experience
with remarkable clarity and fidelity.
METICULOUSLY DESIGNED AND COMES BUNDLED WITH A REMOTE CONTROLLER
The SMSL SU-9 ULTRA comes bundled with a remote controller, allowing you to control its functionality. The design of the SMSL SU-9 ULTRA features a screen that has a unique layout texture. With this screen you can view the operations of SU-9 ULTRA, enhancing your overall user experience with this high-performance DAC. This screen also offers higher light transmittance, emphasizing a sleek and minimalist design while ensuring optimal visibility. Furthermore, the display panel is constructed with durable tempered glass, adding a layer of sophistication and longevity to the SU-9 ULTRA.
