Technically, PCM1795 (32 Bit) is better than PCM1796 (24 Bit)
Burr Brown PCM DAC
最高級:
132dB SNR 24Bit 192kHz 採樣[最高性能] 立體聲DAC(硬件控制)----- 1794A(24 Bit)
132dB SNR 24Bit 192kHz 採樣[最高性能] 立體聲DAC(軟件控制)----- 1792A(24 Bit)
高級:
123dB SNR 32Bit 200kHz 採樣[高級] 立體聲DAC ---------------------------- 1795(32 Bit)
123dB SNR 24Bit 192kHz 採樣立體聲DAC(軟件控制)----------------- 1796(24 Bit)
123dB SNR 24Bit 192kHz 採樣立體聲DAC(硬件控制)------------------ 1798(24 Bit)
中端:
105dB SNR 8 Channel 音頻DAC -------------------------- 1680
113dB SNR 8 Channel 音頻DAC --------------------------- 1690
113dB SNR 立體聲音頻DAC(硬件控制)--------- 1791
以上資料總結,現在的主流AV 前級及擴音機都沒使用多顆頂級32Bit 或132dB SNR 的1792A 或1794A 或1795 的頂級配置。
高級大都只使用了24Bit 192kHz 的DAC,中、高端功放用多顆120dB 以上的stereo 立體聲DAC,中端用多顆113dB 的stereo 立體聲DAC。中低端就是單顆8 Channel 多聲道的DAC 了。
所從要比較埋 SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) 這個重要性能指標
Burr Brown / TI
Wolfson
All Wolfson noise floor is much better than others, besides for the no. of DAC like XXX x pcs, it is depend it use as parallel connection to decode, or just have more DAC for each channel (
it only work for multi-channel input NOT digital decode!!)
For AV Preamp / Amp:It appears for Digital Audio Input such as HDMI, the signal will be decoded and sent out as LPCM to DAC to process ?
Hence, all the audio signal will be processed by the DAC before output for amplification by power ampilifers.
Digital Input --> HDMI/DSP Processor --> Digital/Analog Converter (DAC) --> Analog Output
Analog Input --> Analog/Digital Converter (ADC) --> DSP --> Digital/Analog Converter (DAC) --> Analog Output
Digital Signal Processing is handled by DSP Engines such as SHARC®
For example, Lexicon MC-12 EQ uses SHARC® x 8 + Cirrus Logic x 1 for DSP Audio.
Note:
Super Harvard Architecture Single-Chip Computer (SHARC) is a high performance floating-point and fixed-point DSP from Analog Devices.
For Blu-ray Player:Digital: Blu-ray Audio HD Signal --> Audio Decoder --> LPCM (HDMI Output)
Analog: Blu-ray Audio HD Signal --> Audio Decoder --> DAC --> Analog (RCA Output)
Hence, if audio signal is transmitted via HDMI, the DAC inside the blu-ray is not functioning.
No matter how good the DACs are, they are wasted (not being used at all).
It is acting just as a blu-ray transport.
Blu-ray Player (HDMI) Digital Output
Blu-ray Player (RCA) Analog Output
