As a noob, if I posted to the wrong place, let me know and I will delete and repost.

All I wanted from the SD-9 was to be able to stream bit-perfect music from TIDAL (over Ethernet) with control similar to what I have enjoyed via TIDAL Connect, BUT NOT using WiFi or Airplay2!

I ordered this unit from APOS Audio because I could not find it on Amazon at the time I knew the units had begun shipping from China. It turns out that S.M.S.L. equipment is usually listed with the periods on Amazon (NOT as «SMSL»).

Ordered June 21, 2021. Delivered July 6, 2021. Fifteen days with APOS customer suppprt giving me three updates on expected delivery. DHL International gave detailed updates as soon as the unit was in their hands in Shenzhen China. Normally, I suspect the unit would have been delivered in 7-9 days, but it went on back order just as I ordered it. APOS has been a wonderful vendor. I would order from them again.

Since I was so concerned that everything come via Ethernet to be sent to my Gustard X-16 I turned off Bluetooth before I began the setup.

I won’t make a long story longer by detailing my mistakes during setup. Instead I will list step by step how I would set up the SD-9 IF I had a do over.

[Nota bene: after two days spent with the unit, I am beginning to search for how to play songs from my phone via the unit to my DAC. At 258kbps (Apple Music File) versus generally 1700kbps HiFi or MQA, I doubt I will be playing anything from Apple Music. But I want to know all the interoperability of this unit — in the meantime, this initial review is for my TIDAL music, via Internet direct, over I2S to Gustard X16 DAC, via XLR into Yamaha RX-A 3080 integrated amplifier.]

BEFORE the S.M.S.L. SD-9 comes in you will need:

• 2 AAA batteries for remote
• Ethernet patch cable, Cat. 5e or better speed
• The cabling to run from the SD-9 to your DAC (I ordered a 1 foot 8K HDMI cable for the I2S interface)
• Access to 120 or 240 Volt AC
• The full paid «mconnect Player» App by ConversDigital Co. Ltd., installed on your Android or iPhone. DO NOT install the «Lite» version. You don’t want vestiges of the free program to interfere with the paid app which is what you will use for full functionality.

STEPS to take getting ready:

• Update your phone to the latest operating system.
• Cold boot your phone and then install «mconnect Player.»
• Flip SD-9 switch to select 120 or 240 Volts
• Hook up cabling to the SD-9: I2S (or USB), Ethernet, and AC power.
• Put batteries into the remote
• FIRST (before pressing any other buttons) PRESS THE «B» button on the remote control.
• Press the remote ON button to turn the SD-9 on.
• Press the remote DOWN button and go to Settings (You MAY have to EXIT DLNA mode first to get to the GEAR icon.) The DOWN arrow functions as the «BACK» button, or LEFT pointing «RETURN» button on US remote controls. When you are finally in the «MENU» function on the screen, use the right or left cursor remote buttons to page through Settings (NET, NOW PLAYING, MY MUSIC, EXPLORER, PLAY SETTINGS, SYSTEM SETTINGS) and choose «System Settings.» Press the center cursor control button and then the down cursor control button 12 times. You should now be at «RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS,» so press center button to SELECT it. Confirm your choice, and it will perform a factory reset, which clears any settings set up for unit testing before it left the factory!
• Power cycle the SD-9.
• Go back into SYSTEM «SETTINGS» and begin to go down the choices. You are looking for 1) Change I2S/SPDIF to whatever output you will use, back out and 2) turn «Fix Sample Rate OFF, 3) DSD Output Mode «Native,» 4) USB mode «DAC,» 5) EQ «close.»
• Turn the SD-9 off and use the I2S or USB cable to connect to your DAC
• TO AVOID SPEAKER POP, turn amp off or volume all the way down. NOTE — MUTE on my Yamaha amp did not stop speaker pop while turning the SD-9 on or off while XLR input was selected on the amp.
• Turn the SD-9 back on. IF you are using WiFi, check and setup the «NET» Settings on the SD-9 to insure you are connected to your network.
• With the SD-9 on, take your phone and load the «mconnect Player.»
• Bottom far right of the app, press «Play through» and select the SD-9.
• Go to «Browser» and put in your credentials for TIDAL, Qobuz, etc. Or select your NAS, SD Card, etc.
• Adjust your «Settings» on your streaming service(s) for «Master» or «HiFi.»
• Select and play music, slowly turn up your amp volume, look at your DAC display and confirm that MQA, the green dot, and the bit rate show you are playing high res music.
• Congratulate yourself!

PROS: outstanding soundstage, depth, dynamic range, price for a clean clear sounding streamer. NO USB Cable running across the floor to my DAC (FINALLY!!)

CONS: Speaker POP; 4 out of now about 150 songs exhibited a half-second digital noise burst as a song began to play; crude interface with mconnect. The mconnect queue is terrible — hard to set it up and make songs «stick.» TIDAL now supports Folders in the Playlists — mconnect doesn’t see folders. Mconnect has crashed at least four times on my iPhone 11 running iOS 14.6. Crashing apps on this phone NEVER happen. I leave my equipment ON. The SD-9 screen will probably burn-in as there is no screen auto-off feature, and even the dimmest setting (1) is still VERY BRIGHT.
