Totally agree.I'm really itching to hear news about the SU-9. Somebody'd said March, but no word on it still
I was already poised to buy the SU-8 so when I heard a new version was coming out, I figured I'd wait.It will lack the headphone amp for sure, that's what we know In general I am quite against this approach. Good DAC should also have a good headphone amp. There are plenty of upsides when having it integrated and not only aesthetics & space saver but also functional and quality wise.
SU-9 will look cute so I understand people are waiting for it... but let's be honest: we've already reached a point where you can buy a great DAC for few bucks: Topping D10, SMSL m300 mkII or even sanskrit 10th and anything more expensive won't make any audible difference.

Depends on what equipment you already have, I think. For me I prefer separates, picking out precisely what amp I want, and what DAC, without having to pay more for the DAC because it includes an amp section.It will lack the headphone amp for sure, that's what we know In general I am quite against this approach. Good DAC should also have a good headphone amp. There are plenty of upsides when having it integrated and not only aesthetics & space saver but also functional and quality wise.

Totally disagree with this statement & here's why, i bought a pair of active speakers & the low end (base) wasn't what I was lead to believe.It will lack the headphone amp for sure, that's what we know In general I am quite against this approach.

No reason to wait, you could pull the trigger and send it in to be measured.Would there be any reason to wait for Amir to do the proper testing before pulling the trigger if it's released in the next week or two?
Looks nice. I don't like that 1/4 to 3.5mm adapter though, the hollow inside- kind. I prefer the ones with a tighter fit
