Precision ES9038PRO DAC for Critical Listening

The WUQ SU-9n is a floorstanding home audio speaker that integrates an ESS ES9038PRO digital-to-analogue converter. An ES9311 power chip reduces supply noise to 1 uVrms, while a low-phase-noise clock circuit minimises jitter. The XMOS XU-208 USB interface handles PCM up to 768 kHz and native DSD512, making the unit suited to listeners who want a single high-resolution digital front-end.

Ideal for High-Resolution Streaming

Buyers who stream LDAC 24-bit/96 kHz or aptX HD over Bluetooth 5.0, or who play DSD and high-rate PCM files from a computer, will benefit from the comprehensive codec support. Users who require built-in amplification, wireless multi-room protocols, or analogue-only sources should consider alternative designs.

Straightforward Desktop Integration

Connect USB, coaxial, optical or Bluetooth inputs; all digital ports accept DSD transmission and coaxial and optical support DoP64. A full-function remote control manages input selection and volume. The only common issue is ensuring the source device outputs the desired native DSD or high-rate PCM format rather than down-sampling.

Questions about this item

What source devices and cables are required to use the XLR and RCA outputs on this DAC?

Connect the DAC to a USB source, coaxial or optical transport, or pair a Bluetooth 5.0 device; then run XLR or RCA interconnects from the rear panel to your amplifier or powered speakers.

Will the coaxial and optical inputs accept DSD streams from an older transport that only supports DoP64?

Yes, both coaxial and optical inputs support DoP64, so a legacy transport sending DSD over PCM at 64 fs will be decoded correctly.

How can I confirm the ES9038PRO is decoding native DSD512 or 768 kHz PCM after setup?

Use the remote to check the front-panel sample-rate indicator; it displays the incoming format such as DSD512 or PCM 768 kHz when the XMOS XU-208 receives those streams.
