OFFERS MQA DECODING SUPPORT FOR AUTHENTIC SOUND DELIVERY

The SMSL SU-9 ULTRA features full MQA decoding support. When analogue sound converts to a digital signal, it can result in recorded music sounding less lifelike compared to live performances because of time blurring, which blurs transient signals over time, affecting the clarity of the audio. The MQA technology in the SMSL SU-9 ULTRA solves this drawback, as it eliminates distortion, creating a 3D sound field unlike anything you've heard before. The SMSL SU-9 ULTRA achieves precise sound through the "musical origami" process, which manages large-resolution files efficiently and ensures compatibility with any playback devices. This technology also allows your CD player's digital output to connect to an MQA decoder, which restores the original high-resolution studio-quality audio and verifies its authenticity using an authentication signature. The SMSL SU-9 ULTRA supports MQA CD and offers full decoding for MQA files through USB and SPDIF connections, ensuring you experience the highest quality audio possible.
