2014年2月21日 · 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. They're cool because you can fiddle with the DAC settings like different sampling modes.

2006年12月27日 · This effect of CS4398 DAC board is akin to turning up the contrast knob a bit on your TV; there's a feeling of more apparent detail, but it also introduces a bit more grain and harshness. This is exactly the downside I hear with many recordings that are already recorded "hot" in this area to begin with.

2008年4月3日 · I think Creative Labs might be using the CS4398 DAC chip in some of their external DAC/sound cards. Topping DX7s & Audio-GD NFB-11.28 & Dark Voice 336SE Beyer T90, HD58X, Fostex T-X0

2017年10月30日 · I prefer dac to have good treble extension without being grainy or analytical. Not to overly warm or conjested .i find bur brown dac to be slightly warm and missing treble extension.cs4398 seems fine imo,better than burr brown dacs i …

2009年2月20日 · well, the DAC itself is very unlikely to be the final word on output, so you'd be better off asking about the DV7001 vs the SA7001 sound-wise, instead of about a single internal component (you can build two devices with the same DAC, and change other components, and change the device's characteristics) CS4397 CS4398

2005年2月20日 · I'm using the CS8416 in a PCM1730 DAC. Fully designed for a few months now i'm really only waiting for a few weeks of free time to order and make PCBs. The CS8416 recovers the clock using a phase locked loop from the spdif/aes signal.

2006年5月3日 · Well, they're both DAC chips, and both of them are oversampling chips. The CS4938 is a Multibit Sigma DAC with a dynamic range of 120, and a SNR of 120, and a THD+N of -107dB, but I don't know how to convert this into a percentage. This chip accepts I2S and four other right justified serial PCM input.

2012年12月24日 · The CS4398 has a smoother sound and none of the same artifacts are heard. Now when comparing CS4398 VS ES9018k2m (D30 vs M8) the difference in detail is not as great as vs the DX7. It is worth noting though that the only dual chip DAC I own is the Topping DX7.

2009年2月20日 · I was looking at two different Marantz SACD players. One uses a CS4397 and one uses a CS4398 DAC (chip?). Anybody out here can give me some opinion on how these two differs in sound and which one is more musical? The two players are DV7001 and the SA7001. I kind of like the the DV7001 a little bit more because of the multi channel.

2016年9月28日 · Cirrus Logic CS4398 The output stage with the venerable OPA2134 opamp: Output protection relay circuit, a very nice touch: The internal components are very nicely done. The resistors appear to be KOA Speer 1% film resistors. The electrolytic caps are Elna's for the power section and Nichicon FW's for the opamp.
