I have ordered my SMSL SU-9 instead of the M500. SU-9 seems to have outstanding parameters. https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/s-m-s-l-su-9-mqa-full-decoder-es9038pro-dac-xmos-dsd512-pcm768khz-32bit-bluetooth-5-0-uat-aptx-hd-usb-balanced-decoder

SMSL SU-9 will be officially launched at 10:00 am (UTC+8) on September 30th, based on the ES9038PRO DAC and MQA, with Bluetooth 5.0, expected list price will be $439.99

@Fayne at all, Shenzenaudio just announced that they will start selling SU-9 at the end of the month. What do you think how SU-9 will perform compared to M500 ?
