SMSL SU-6 Desktop DAC
Small on Size, Big on Features
The SMSL SU-6 is billed as a desktop DAC for a few reasons. First, its sleek, slim, low-profile shape and size make it perfect for plopping right on your workspace without taking up too much real estate—and the minimal design language with tempered-glass screen ensures an upscale aesthetic, as well. It’s also packed with seamless connectivity options, making it great as the brains of your desktop signal chain. With an ESS ES9038Q2M DAC chip yielding PCM resolutions up to 768 kilohertz and 32 bits with natively supported DSD512 courtesy of the 2nd-gen XMOS processor, the SU-6 pulls its weight on the conversion front. SMSL has also baked in Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity for seamless wireless transmission and LDAC support up to 24-bit and 96 kilohertz for encompassing wireless resolution and minimal artifacts to your sound from Bluetooth compression. Plus, with Qualcomm codec support and a host of input options, the SU-6 is ready to go for virtually any desktop audiophile operation.
