Audio Chip Has Wide Dynamic Range For Smartphones

ElectronicsWeekly.com reports that ESS Technology’s latest derivative of its 32-bit reference stereo digital-to-analogue converter is a two-channel converter targeted at smartphones, tablets and digital music players, as well as consumer devices such as Blu-ray players, audio pre-amplifiers and A/V receivers, and professional devices such as recording systems, mixer consoles and digital audio.

Ismosys is ESS Technology’s pan-European representative/stockiest and Dave Blissett, Ismosys’ ESS product manager: “Unlike conventional sigma-delta (Σ∆) DACs, the ES9018-2M Sabre32 Reference Stereo DAC incorporates patented circuits to deliver spectacular music with up to 127dB dynamic range and 0.0001% (-120dB) total harmonic distortion, free from the clock jitter that commonly plagues digital audio systems.”
