I don't use any driver with my SU-8 and windows 10. Just plug into usb and it works fine... pretty sure the drivers are native in windows 10?
I have never had cut out with a windows device, though it can sometimes take a few seconds to reconnect after I cycle from the USB input to something else. Interestingly I had a minor issue yesterday with my RPi4 plugged into the usb connection, where the sound would cut out, despite moode audio still showing that the music was playing. It turns out the SU8 has a hot usb plug which according to the guy that designed moode audio is likely the issue and he has seen other issues with raspbian, rpi4 and usb plugs with this design. Apparently it was not such an issue with rpi3? All I had to do was restart the pi with the su8 turned on (and with the usb as chosen input) and it resolved the issue. That might be the same for you and your windows device?Do you get cut out? Or have any issue with connection? I will be listening and then all of the sudden the sound stops.
The PC says that it is connected to SMSL USB AUDIO and then it will say USB device not recognized. If I then turn off and on until it is recognized again then it will work.
If this does not help, try to update Windows to its latest release.You might have to temporarily disable driver signature enforcement [Option Two]. Furthermore, you might require to run the file(s) with administrator privileges.
In any case, do uninstall the "defective" driver package before you give those steps a try.
Can someone explain why harmonic distortion sounds "warm" (if this is true)? Should it not sound brighter than without it? I mean distortions/sounds are added higher up in the frequency range so to speak, not lower down, right?
Has it got 2 Dac chips??? Ess 9038 ? True Balanced circuitry?? Thanks
Non upsampling applied by the SU8.Hello !
Does any one use it with Audirvana?
My question : do you know if SU-8 version 2 "by default" applies any upsampling?
Behind this, my question is that if SU-8 applies an upsampling (eg from 44kHz to lets say 384 kHz, or to some DSD stream) it may be usefull to do it in Audirvana :
the upsampled signal would be calculated by a more powerfull shipset and stored in the RAM of my PC before to be transfered to DAC, and DAC load would be much lighter
Any clue? (Hope my english is understandable)
Best Regards

There is an oversampling filter thoughNon upsampling applied by the SU8.
Maybe I do not have understood. For me the question was to know if the SU8 was doing some upsampling. And as far as I know, if you want upsampling, you have to process it before the SU8. That's what I do. But English is not my natural language and also I only have a limited comprehension of what is done in the SU8.There is an oversampling filter though

Thank you for this information.There is an oversampling filter though
Thanks. I would had, to my comprehension the SU8 has no processor in the box. I believe there is a micro controller for the input, the xmos U208. Datasheet is here. One micro controller and two DACs.Hello, Between French natives we share the same "International English": Your answer fits exactly what my question was asking for. Thanks a lot.
Frankly I'm not a supporter of upsampling, but I thought that if SU8 was doing it it was worth trying to do it before, with a more powerfull processor.
SU8 doesn't, I will avoid this purely mathematical feature, bringing very often additianal coldness.
Don't you want to open it and try to find the fuse?
