Node and SMSL SU-9 Why can't I get SU-9 an external DAC that supports MQA to register MQA even if it has bypassed the Node internal DAC? I have tried coaxial and optical but no results. Will the newly announced USB output to external DAC solve this issue? I bought the SMSL DAC with the Node just a few days ago but am disappointed now.

  The  question you need to answer is about the SMSL SU-9… does it support MQA on the optical or coaxial inputs?

  If it does not as shown in my failed attempts then the last option would be MQA over USB, so I guess the onus would be the Node to enable this long awaited feature.

  I too would be disappointed with the DAC, often DACs are marketed as having MQA but only implemented on USB, poor show on SMSL’s part. I did a Google and can only find users using USB.

  Yes I can confirm it's MQA over USB as I just chatted with the SMSL support team. Guess we have to wait for Bluesound to do as it has promised it would do and soon.
