Burr-Brown DSD 1792 DAC chip
From memory, this chip is what they made after stopping manufacture of the PCM1704 because of the very high cost of making them, laser trimming the R2R resistors.
The 1792 is a bit of a hybrid chip, Multibit and Bitstream (Delta Sigma) it lowered the cost of manufacture without too much penalty when playing Redbook pcm cd’s, there are some that like it’s sound, I still prefer the 1704.
The 1794 or is it 96 is even better than the 1792, still hybrid but with more Multibit component I believe.
To me it sounds like their going around in circles.
Cheers George
