The ES9016K2M SABRE32® Ultra DAC is a high-performance 32-bit, 2-channel audio D/A converter targeted for portable

high-fidelity audio power sensitive applications such as digital music players, consumer applications such as Blu-ray

players, audio pre-amplifiers and A/V receivers, as well as professional applications such as recording systems, mixer

consoles and digital audio workstations.

Using the critically acclaimed ESS patented 32-bit HyperStream® DAC architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator,

the ES9016K2M SABRE32® Ultra DAC delivers a DNR of up to 122dB and THD+N of

–110dB, a performance level that

will satisfy the most demanding audio enthusiasts.

The ES9016K2M SABRE32® Ultra DAC

’s 32-bit HyperStream® architecture can handle up to 32-bit, 384kHz PCM data

via I2S, DSD-11.2MHz data as well as mono mode for highest performance applications. Both synchronous and ASRC

(asynchronous sample rate conversion) modes are supported.

The ES9016K2M SABRE® Ultra DAC is powered by a +1.8V to +3.3V supply for both the digital and analog sections,

with internal regulators generating the core supply. The DAC comes in a 28-QFN package, supports 1.8V logic levels

and consumes less than 40mW in normal operating mode (< 1mW in standby mode)

The SABRE® Ultra DAC sets a new standard for high quality audio performance, SABRE SOUND®, in a cost effective,

easy-to-

use form factor for today’s most demanding digital audio applications.
