  what dac is in it

 
I don't know yet.
 
I assume it's either BurrBrown or Sabre. 
 
They say this phone will come out in this March or April... 
 
 
It seriously has 8GB ram memory .. which is more than that of the majority of laptops or even desktop PCs.

i hope its not sabre, as I dislike sabre dacs
 
i really like what i am reading, sometimes when u read those great specs and features the iphone just feels outdated

As far as I can tell, it's Qualcomm's Aqstic, aka WCD9335.

If true, this is the same DAC as in the HTC10 and Google Pixel. Happy to do some digging if pointed in the right direction.
