Has a great sound - better than my built in Arcam Alpha 7 CD DAC
I wouldn't call myself an audiophile however I realise that the standard DACs blur the audio and smear the timing of CDs. I can hear the difference this S.M.S.L SU-9n makes - instruments are clearer for example (I connect the coaxial output of my CD player into the S.M.S.L SU-9n). There are a lot of settings in the menu - some make the bass very powerful. The display light can be turned off (NB. not that obvious how to do it). The Bluetooth I thought I'd never use but it's easy to play my smartphone into my hi-fi now (occasionally useful).

Midrange DAC
If you are thinking about getting a stand alone DAC, this one should be on your shortlist.Tried a Topping E30ii but that one sounded one dimensional and dry.This SMSL SU-9n sounds balanced, full bodied and clear. A great upgrade for a budget/midrange CD player or anything with a digital COAX/Optical output.

rich sound
great detail of the tracks, the only drawback is the rca connections are very close to each other,
