Source: ClickESS Technology Announces Sabre32 Reference DAC Worlds Best 32-bit Audio D/A Converter with 135dB Dynamic Range
FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ESS Technology, a leading provider of high performance audio/video solutions, today announced the addition of two new Sabre32 Reference 32-bit Audio DAC parts to its Vista™ family of high-definition audiovisual product line.
The Sabre32 Reference DAC is an enhancement to the original Sabre Reference DAC that has taken the audio world by storm since its introduction in January 2008, through its superior performance and jitter-free sound clarity made possible by the ESS patented Hyperstream™ architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator.
Using an enhanced 32-bit Hyperstream™ architecture, the Sabre32 Reference DAC further extends the original Sabre Reference’s from 24-bit to 32-bit music and raises its mind-boggling performance even higher to 135dB dynamic range and -120dB THD.
The Sabre32 Reference DAC is available in two versions – the ES9018 8-channel DAC supports mono, stereo, 4- and 8-channel output modes, while the ES9012 2-channel DAC supports stereo output. Each part integrates an all-digital SPDIF receiver, supports digital audio in PCM or DSD formats, features click-free soft mute, volume control, de-emphasis, zero detect, customizable filter characteristics and consumes less than 100mW.
Robert Wong, vice-president of marketing and worldwide sales for ESS Technology, said, “The Sabre32 Reference DAC is a perfect companion for the emerging 32-bit audio content generated by music studios and DSP up-conversion. Together with other ESS Sabre32 and Sabre ADCs and DACs, audio enthusiasts can now enjoy music with performance never before possible. It is simply stunning.”
Both the ES9018 Sabre32 Reference 8-channel DAC and the ES9012 Sabre32 Reference Stereo DAC are sampling in 64-LQFP package and priced at $39 in quantities of 1000.
The Sabre32 Reference DACs will be demonstrated January 8 – 11, 2009 at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas at the Hilton. Appointments may be scheduled by calling Wendy Chafer at 510-492-1180.
Φυσικά το Heraklion Team του AVSite παρακολουθεί από την πρώτη μέρα το σχετικό thread στο diyaudio.com και κάποια μέλη του ακούν με τον προκάτοχό του εδώ και 4 μήνες.
Περισσότερα σε σχετικό thread γιατί από αυτά που βλέπω έχει μείνει πίσω το DIY community και ψωνίζει ακόμα κάτι τελειωμένα diy kit DACs από κινέζους και είναι κρίμα. :144:
