What does that mean for you? Essentially, you get to enjoy your music the way it's supposed to be: crystal clear, and free from distortion or noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Science Behind the Sound—AK4191 + AK4499EX\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA New Generation of Chips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCrafted with an innovative blend of the AK4191 and AK4499EX D\/A chips from Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM), the SMSL SU-9 Ultra is far more than just a music player. The AK4499EX chip is based on its world-class predecessor, the AK4499, but elevates the game with a complete separation of digital and analog circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-High-Resolution Playback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen paired with the AK4191, the AK4499EX becomes a powerhouse for analog conversion. The duo handles ultra-high-resolution sound sources—up to an impressive 1536kHz sample rate for 64-bit PCM or a 44.8MHz sample rate for DSD. In layman's terms? You'll catch every nuanced note and subtle rhythm, clearer than ever, thanks to the low-jitter clock enabled by the AK4191's new \"asynchronous operation mode.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimized Noise, Maximized Clarity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnd it doesn't stop there. AKM's newly developed \"DWA (Data Weighted Averaging) Routing Technology\" takes noise suppression to the next level, offering world-class analog characteristics that even surpass those of its predecessor. The result is an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio, making your music sound cleaner and incredibly life-like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity Galore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe SU-9 Ultra comes with USB, Optical, and Coaxial inputs—each supporting DSD signal.
