In favor of double ES9018M2K or single ES9018?
For some reason, currently we would only consider ES9018 or ES9018M2K for the DAC chip.
ES9018 is a desk type that has the highest performance indicator among the DAC chips on the market, while the ES9018M2K is a mobile type. The main differences between the two are that the ES9018M2K has lower power supply voltage and power consumption, and the DAC for ES9018M2K is in double-way output system, while the ES9018 is in eight-way output system.
Nowadays, it seems like a tendency to employ double DACs, such as the HM801, HM901,DX90,dual-core version of iHiFi,AK120/AK240, etc.
However, there is no theoretical proof support that the double-chip system is superior to single chip. Just take the 9018 for example, its performance is much better than that of 9018M2K, and likewise, with much higher cost.
Nonetheless, most of the customers would consider the double chips would be senior, so what is your opinion?
