1. General Description
The AK4493 is a new generation Premium 32-bit 2ch DAC with VELVET SOUNDTM technology,
achieving industry’s leading level low distortion characteristics. The newly adopted OSR-Doubler
technology establishes wide signal band, low power consumption and low distortion characteristics.
Moreover, the AK4493 has six types of 32-bit digital filters, realizing simple and flexible sound tuning in a
wide range of applications. The AK4493 accepts up to 768kHz PCM data and 22.4MHz DSD data, ideal
for high-resolution audio source playback that is becoming widespread in network audio, USB-DAC, etc.
Application: AV Receivers, CD/SACD Players, Network Audios, USB DACs, USB Headphones, Sound
Plates/Bars, Measurement Equipment, Control Systems, IC-Recorder, Bluetooth
Headphone, HD Audio/Voice Conference Systems.

Note 12. 101dB at 16bit data and 118dB at 20bit data.
Note 13. S/N ratio does not depend on input bit length.
Note 14. The analog output voltage with 0dBFS input signal when GC[2:0] bits = “000”is calculated by
the following formula:
AOUTL/R (typ. @0dB) = (AOUT+) (AOUT) = 2.8Vpp (VREFHL/R VREFLL/R)/5.
This expression is equivalent to 5.6Vpp and is differential and irrespective of ground reference
or the Vcom bias voltage.
Note 15. The analog output voltage with 0dBFS inputsignal when GC[2:0] bits = “100”is calculated by the
following formula:
AOUTL/R (typ. @0dB) = (AOUT+) (AOUT) = 3.75Vpp (VREFHL/R VREFLL/R)/5.
This expression is equivalent to 7.5Vpp and is differential and irrespective of ground reference
or the Vcom bias voltage.
Note 16. The load resistance value is 450 ohm (Min) against the DC load (No DC cut capacitor) with
respect to ground. The load capacitance value with respect to ground. Analog characteristics
are sensitive to capacitive load that is connected to the output pin. Therefore, the capacitive load
must be minimized.

Note 20. DSD Datastream: Analog characteristics are not guaranteed with DSD512 datastream.
Note 21. The peak level of DSD signal should be in the range of 25% ~ 75% duty according to the SACD
format book (Scarlet Book).
Note 22. The output level is assumed as 0dB when a 1kHz 25% ~ 75% duty sine wave is input. Click
noise may occur if the input signal exceeds 0dB.
Note 23. Digital “0” is a digital zero code pattern (“01101001”) according to the SACD format book
(Scarlet Book).
Note 24. When DSDD bit = “1”, the analog output voltage at 25% ~ 75% input signal duty is calculated by
the following equation:
AOUTL/R (typ. @0dB) = (AOUTLP/RP) (AOUTLN/RN)
= 2.8Vpp (VREFHL/R VREFLL/R)/5.0.
This expression is equivalent to 5.6Vpp and is differential and irrespective of ground reference
or the Vcom bias voltage.
Note 25. When DSDD bit = “1”, the analog output voltage at 25% ~ 75% input signal duty is calculated by
the following equation:
AOUTL/R (typ. @0dB) = (AOUTLP/RP) (AOUTLN/RN)
= 2.5Vpp (VREFHL/R VREFLL/R)/5.0.
This expression is equivalent to 5.0Vpp and is differential and irrespective of ground reference
or the Vcom bias voltage.

Note 27. The passband and stopband frequencies scale with fs. For example, PB = 0.4535×fs
(@0.01dB), SB = 0.546×fs.
Note 28. This value is the gain amplitude of first step interpolator which is 4 times oversampling filter in
pass band width.
Note 29. The calculating delay time which occurred by digital filtering. This time is from setting the
16/20/24/32 bit data of both channels to the output of analog signal.
