USB supports MQA: 1. clean up the recording, when the analogue sound is converted into a digital signal, there is a temporal blur, which blur transient signals over time. MQA can eliminate this distortion and create a real 3D sound field that is different from anything you've ever heard.
USB Input: compatible with Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11 (driver is required), Mac 0S X10.6+, Linux (driverless), Android, i0s
The MQA decoder can restore the original high-resolution signal heard in the studio and confirm with the help of the authentication signature. SMSL SU-1 supports MQA CDs.
Support MQA CD: CD player + MQA enabled DAC, the digital output of your CD player (optical or coaxial) can be connected to an MQA decoder
Once the blur in the recording is removed, MQA applies a so-called "musical origami process" that makes this file easy to handle with large resolution and compatible with any service or player.
AKM AK4493S: SU-1 uses the latest AKM DAC chip, AK4493S to achieve a distortion of less than 0.00013%
