## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hello: i have purchased numerous japan uhqcd's  will this unit change the quality of those sound wise ? using oppo 203 receiver.**
A: I have the 203 and this Dac destroys the Oppo's Dac. No comparison. Everything in my library sounds better. I love this Dac and use it with the DA-9. Killer combination.

**Q: Will signal output to both xlr and rca simultaniously, as to run to amp via xlr out and powered sub via rca out and retain preamp functionality??**
A: It does output both simultaneously.  I run in preamp mode outputting the xlr to preamp, and rca to headphone amp.  I don't know if you can do what you describe with a sub

**Q: What specific type of usb cord do i need to connect  my smsl su 9 to my laptop computer  ?.... ty**
A: It comes with a USB cable that you can use. If you are looking to connect it via USB "C", you would need a USB "C" to USB "B" Male Cord. Of course "The Amazon" sells them.

**Q: When i plug my smart tv into this, i get okay audio when i stream youtube, but other streaming apps only give me digital has. what is causing this?**
A: The other apps need to be sending a stereo PCM audio signal, NOT Dolby nor DTS audio nor multi-channel audio signals. The SU-9 cannot decode those. You may be able to change the audio to stereo in the setup of each app, but that depends on the app, not the SU-9.
