ESS Technology, a leader in audio semiconductor devices, has announced the launch of two groundbreaking 8-channel DACs with integrated line drivers. The ES9082 SMART DAC and ES9081 DAC, powered by ESS’s patented Hyperstream IV architecture, deliver the legendary SABRE audio quality with enhanced performance and precision. Each of the 8 channels features a 2VRMS line driver, achieving an impressive +120dB DNR and -108dB THD+N. For applications requiring fewer channels, performance can be boosted by combining channels, offering up to +127dB DNR in 2-channel differential mode.
The ES9082 SMART DAC integrates the second-generation ESS Audio Signal Processor (ASP2), allowing customization of audio algorithms using ESS's SABRE Intelligence Studio software. It supports advanced features like PEQ, DRC, AGL, stereo expansion, and custom filters, enhancing audio performance while simplifying system design.
Both DACs support high sample rates up to 768kHz and DSD1024, with TDM, I2S, and DoP inputs. Designed for professional audio gear, soundbars, A/V receivers, and amplifiers, these DACs promise superior sound with flexible configuration options, all while reducing BOM costs. With this release, ESS continues to set new standards in the high-performance audio world, offering premium sound quality for a variety of audio applications.
