I have been looking for a Dac since December and won’t buy one untill this is out and some reviews have been published. The SU-9, the Queststyle CMA400i and the RME ADI-2 are my current runner-ups; I like the balanced output of the first 2 and the RME is just tempting.
But I need the SU-9 to get on the market 
Speaking of SMSL DACs, M400 to be released next month.

It will be nice to see a comparisson review between the SU-9 and the M400 
Those are big difference in price. The Queststyle is 700$ and RME are 800$ The SU9 will probably be 250$
I know, I am not focused on a partucular price point, but more what is a great amp or Dac and a good deal. And a good deal can be at various price points.
Like the RNHP is said to punch above its price, I guess the SU-9 will too, if it is as good as the SU-8 when that was released.

I am interested in that one. I want a new dac. I am interested in this 3: m300 mkii, m200 and m400.

I was hoping it would cost less, would have been more interested if they’d skipped the bluetooth and priced it below the M300.
got the m300 a few days ago (but still waiting on the sp200 to arrive to fully test it).
I’m fairly certain the form factor is the only thing that’s significantly different

Ordered the m200. Would like the m400, but can’t justify buying at that price.
Have to use my ifi nano dsd black for mqa.

Sold through
That was fast…
Will the M400 be a better value buy over the new SU-9, any thoughts on that?
Subscribing to the thread because curiosity.
Looks like it didn’t come out in may then.
my guess is they abandoned it for the M200
A lot of releases. M200 released april 28.
SMSL SP400 and M400 is supposed to be released in june (I mean, it feels like the M200 was released a few days ago…)

The SU-9 was the Dac I thought, I would get. But it didn’t arive in time, so I have bought another Dac, but I am still eager to hear the verdicts for thsi, when it is released.
It could be a great Dac for the price.
Can the su-9 drop already
