@SMSL-Mandy and @SMSL_Liu ,

you folks can chime in on the estimated time/date of availability of this ??

 

[Sak]

Is there any news about SU8s ?

 

[Tks]

Now THAT's how you do an upgrade. Slap on a big nice screen, and add a knob.

Interesting, what's btw the difference to the new m200 DAC?

Comming soon...

and soon is? any new infos out yet?

 

[samshaver]

From the SP200 thread...

@SMSL_Liu do you maybe know if the SMSL SU-8S is any different in specifications? (or when it'll be out?)

I know something, but I can't tell you all, one thing I can tell you is, it uses ES9038PRO.

Pretty sure it will not be at the same US$250/- price point with the ES9038Pro chip though.

Yes, the price is higher!

 

[Sak]

Perhaps it will be called SU-9 ?

Eagerly waiting for this... Been putting off buying the SP200 because I want to stack it with the newest SU-8 (I guess now it's the SU-9)
Please @SMSL-Mandy @SMSL_Liu some release date/price info?

 

[Veri]

SU-9 vs M400 will be interesting...

 

[frogmeat69]

I can't keep up, .

 

[SMSL-Mandy]

There is some data of M400, made by AK4499.

 

[mkawa]

so m400 will perform almost 10db sinad better than m500? or are we going to be seeing an m500 v2? hmmm..

add: it seems like you guys have (finally?) figured out how to get superlative performance out of the AKM chips. does this and the NOS D2 mean that you guys might be sourcing fewer chipsets from ESS?

Any idea on price point or timeframe?!?

NOS D2?

The AK4499 is slaying the ESS 9038Pro and even the AK4499 in the D90. Seems like we haven't hit the boundary limits of this chip after all.

 

[SMSL-Mandy]

The sourcing amount from Akm or ESS is depended on the market and customer, not by us.

Thanks

NOS D2?

the vmv d2 will be 4x pcm1704 in non-oversampling mode, right?
