Advanced Multi-bit DAC
The Multi-bit system achieves a wide dynamic range. Its unique algorithm
contributes to improved linearity and low distortion. Moreover, its incorporated
Switched Capacitor Filter minimises the signal deterioration caused by clock jitter,
enabling stable D/A conversion. As a result, even subtle nuances of music can be
reproduced in fine detail.
