2016年11月14日 · Many manufacturers these days will disclose what chip is in their product because they're well aware of the aforesaid "I got into audio after being into computers for a few years and expect Futuremark Result Browser" trend that's developed recently - just a few years ago it wasn't common to see every CD player, every DAC, every receiver, etc ...

2021年3月29日 · I’ve also heard many DAC chips and tend to prefer ones I’m familiar with. Burr Brown, AKM, Wolfson, mainly. ESS makes great chips too. I’m enjoying an 80s BB R2R 16bit DAC, since ladder DACs seem to be all the rave, again. I do enjoy today’s DACs also. Big blow to audiophile DACs. The AKM fire set everything back.

2024年7月10日 · The WGZBLON V1 uses a proven Cirrus Logic DAC chip, CS43131 in a dual configuration which is known for its power efficiency while delivering a powerful output from its proprietary headphone amp driver with a low noise ground along with consistent chip components to eliminate any possible distortion, artefacts and pre-echoes during its operation.

2024年12月29日 · Switchable dual DAC chips: Pioneering the world's first DAC chip switching technology, backed by a proprietary patent, adopts 2pcs of DAC chips – ESS9038Q2M and AK4493. The groundbreaking design enables users to enjoy the robust dynamics of the ESS9038Q2M or the refined tones of the AK4493, vastly enhancing personalized audio experiences and ...

2012年12月24日 · It is worth noting though that the only dual chip DAC I own is the Topping DX7. I got mine on sale and wanted to see if dual DAC chips actually resolved more detail and they do. These tests were done on some of my favorite classical and jazz songs as well as 2 good R&B songs with female vocals and 3-4 other songs which have known artifacts or ...

2012年12月24日 · The Sabre32 9018 is a great chip and I love my Sabre 9018 chipped NFB7 but don't expect ANY chip to be considered the absolute best and that's before implementation is taken into account. Source: Cyrus CD8SE Audio-gd NFB-7 DAC Schiit Yggdrasil

2020年2月9日 · I was looking for an inexpensive DAC to extend the life of a Sony X303ES CD Player and the Schiit Modi 3, with its AKM 4490 DAC chip and DC-coupled output, was exactly what I was looking for. I actually like it better than the Peachtree DAC-iTx and Rega DAC-R that I briefly owned. At $99, I consider the Modi 3 a real bargain and an easy recommend.

2024年10月24日 · The dac chip in the ZD3 is the ESS q2m version of the newest 9039. That means: more effort has gone in to minimizing that pre-ringing. Less 'magic fairy dust' treble detail. DACs are still getting better. The q2m version means it's cheaper and less power consuming, meant for mobile devices. It only has 2 channels where the full pro chip has 8 ...

2014年2月21日 · This post is just to tell folks a little about the CS4398 DAC. I used to work at an audio chip maker called Cirrus Logic. I picked up one of their engineering boards for their flagship DAC, the CS4398. Usually anyone can purchase evaluation boards for any chip.

2011年2月23日 · It's apparently a tough chip to implement properly, and while there have been some very good results with it (EE Minimax, Anedio), many of the DACs that use it have somewhat of a dry and clinical sound. Implementation is key. I would take a well engineered DAC using a PCM1795 or AD1955 over a mediocre Sabre DAC any day of the week.
