SMSL SU-8s High Resolution ESS DAC (Digital-to-analog converter)
Dang it.
The SMSL SU-8s has reached its end of life. Fortunately, we have a great alternative, the TOPPING D30 Pro.
The down-to-earth DAC
The SU-8s is the refreshingly straightforward new DAC from SMSL. Who’s it for? The research-weary. The comparison-chart-chafed. The do-I-look-like-I-know-what-a-PCM-filter-is. It’s a DAC that remembers what a DAC should do: decode the highest song files on the planet, and do it well (really, really well). And that’s it. Oh, and it’s got a nice remote.
Explore high quality
The world of hi-res is yours to explore, whether through a streaming service like TIDAL or Spotify, a digital library, or a collection of CDs. The SU-8s can decode virtually everything with class-leading dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio thanks to an ESS ES9068AS chip and a 16-core XMOS processor.
HD Bluetooth
The SU-8s supports Bluetooth 5.0 reception, with support for SBC/ AAC/ aptX/ atpX-HD.
Three inputs, two outputs
Connect a TV, laptop, gaming console, or other device to the SU-8s via its three inputs, and then run a connection to an amplifier or pre-amp via XLR or RCA outputs.
Go deeper (into your couch)
A full-function remote control prevents you from having to get off the couch and fiddle with knobs. Access the SU-8s’ full menu, including volume, input, and brightness, quickly and effortlessly.
