It may be called the balanced max

Or maybe they have something else twisted up their sleeves

The chip maker has done an unbelievable job, but Joe has too or you couldn't get measurements that low.

I'm very excited about this product.

(So, is that enthusiastic enough for you Jorge?)
Yep, that works...

A quick shout-out to Joe W., our HeadRoom audio engineer here ... Sure, the Sabre8 DAC chip is indeed gd incredible but Joe's circuit designs, his dozens of permutations & iterations of the board layout, beaucoup corporate listening tests -- not to mention his dogged research perseverance -- bespeaks his brilliance which is why the DAC will sound so right between the ears !!

You'll likely not ever get Joe to post here (we dont pay him enough! ) since he's either mnt biking, skiing, or crunching numbers sooooo ... Kudos, Dub!

Now.... to put the thing on fast-track, eh!!
[just kidding!]

CHEERS,

Are you using the voltage output or current output? If i-out, what are you using for I/V?

Will there be upsampling capability in the new DAC?

I'll be answering some of the technical questions in a month or so once the design is set in stone. 'Til then you can keep asking so I have a list of q's to answer.

Tyll,

For now, could you tell me which model of analyser from Audio Precision you guys are using?

Thanks!

IIRC it's the System Two Cascade audio analyzer.
