Hi,
Is the smsl su9 pro working with windows 11 ?
Thanks.
Hey, I have received it a couple of days ago. It is NOT a plug and play device. With driver it works on Win 11, however the first time it made a few bugs so I had to reinstall. Now it is ok, but I still don't know wehether I keep it.

Hi,
I am from INDIA. I plan to buy a DAC.
I am confused between topping E70 vs E70 Velvet vs Su9 pro.
Can you please help me to choose best dac.
My preference will be deep soundstage and instruments separation.
Thanks.

Also, in the manual, it says driver needed for windows 10. Is that same driver works for windows 11 also ?
Thanks.

"My preference will be deep soundstage and instruments separation." - forget this. These DACs have all great measurments. I would go with the simple ESS E70, as it is the cheapest and it is plug and play. It would sound just fine.

I haven't tried, but so far it can works with all operating systems except certain mac machines. I think it's fine with all Windows and Ubuntu versions.

I don't have lightning to USB adapter, but I can tell you that it works with iPad Air 4th gen (come with USB-C connector).

It works with Win 11 but only with the driver.

Looks like I’m having this issue with an older iMac (2013). Weird thing is that it worked in the beginning but today it decided not to work anymore. I should have kept my D400ES that worked fine.
