The 8920DAC is an easy-to-use digital
audio to analog audio converter. Its various
modes allow you to modify the outgoing
signal, such as channel swapping, channel
summing, phase inversion, and more. The
remote capability supports mode selection
and input monitoring. Typical applications
include interfacing between digital and analog
equipment, such as speakers, audio mixers,
and routers.
