Double ES9038Q2M chip

• The SU 8 V2 is a high-precision DAC operating thanks to two 32-bit ES9038Q2M SABRE chips integrated in dual Mono mode : each of these chips dedicates 100% of its computing power to a single channel of the stereophonic signal for an exceptionally clear reproduction with well defined crosstalk.

• This component is one of ESS flagship products and one of the best current hardware solutions for high-fidelity audio decoding, notably with HYPERSTREAM 32 BIT 768KHZ architecture as well as native DSD support. They are also equipped with advanced reconstruction filters and have excellent finesse in dithering.

• ESS technology is also very popular in that it allows extremely precise and signal-friendly volume control.

• These chips integrate a rudimentary DSP offering the possibility of configuring the active processing of second and third harmonics. This parameter is supported by the SU-8V2 in order to allow the user to adjust the rendering to the specifics of his speakers / amplifiers as much as to his personal preferences.
