Please, somebody knows if Wolfson DAC is used in standalone DACS?

If it is in which one?

thanks

I know it's used in the Cambridge Audio Azur line of CD players, the 840C is a CD player as well as standalone DAC

What advantages are there if there are two dacs or multiple dacs?

I think the Wolfon's used in these cd players are mono chips so that's why they need two of them, right ?

i don't think so, because the 540C only has one DAC chip.

edit: also, to get back on topic, the OP may find this thread beneficial: All the DACs money can buy

One can produce quite a few nifty designs with more than one dac chip - e.g. you can use 'em in a differential configuration in order to achieve a higher snr. Also, if you let two or more dac chips do exactly the same job, you can average out quantisation errors and thus improve linearity and reduce distortion.

The Cambridge Audio Azur 740c has two Wolfson DAC chips. It has two digital inputs, and can be used as a standalone DAC.
