Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PCM1795, PCM1796, PCM1792
Hi team,
I got questions from customer.
"I am comparing some DACs you make compared to other companies.
Question 1: Does the PCM4104 support DSD and if so what is the max?
Question 2: Also does any of the Texas instrument models listed below have digital preset filters or is an external chip needed for that?
e.g. For example other companies list things like:
PCM Filter Characteristics (Fast Roll Off, Minimum Phase)
PCM Filter Characteristics (Slow Roll Off, Minimum Phase)
PCM Filter Characteristics (Hybrid, Fast Roll Off, Minimum Phase)
Question 3: Lastly is there any other specs that are important when comparing DACs that is missing from the table below that makes a big difference in sound quality/performance?"
