SMSL SU-10 MQA Balanced DAC
Ultra Low Noise With MQA Support
If there’s one thing SMSL is known for, it’s high-end components that deliver high-end DAC performance. The SU-10 is a premium offering that puts stellar low-noise performance right alongside full MQA support for an impressive response for your music files. The DAC functionality centers on two top-tier ES9038PRO chips that provide a ton of coverage for your conversion, and because the unit is powered by an XMOS XU-316 for the USB decoding, there’s tons of detail to be had. Specifically, the SU-10 can deliver up to 768 kilohertz of PCM resolution as well as native DSD support. This, when paired with noise levels as low as 1 Vrms, means you’ve got crystal clear conversion and extremely limited artifacts in your music. And if that weren’t enough, the SU-10 also harnesses MQA decoding functionality—allowing you to breathe fresh, new studio-quality life into your mixes. There’s even Qualcomm Bluetooth support with LDAC compatibility for pristine wireless transmission—as well as a balanced XLR output to continue that low-noise signal on to your speakers.
