The ES9010K2M SABRE Premier DAC is a high-performance 32-bit, 2-channel audio D/A converter

targeted for portable high-fidelity audio applications such as mobile phones and 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 Hyperstream

 DAC architecture and Time Domain Jitter

Eliminator, the ES9010K2M SABRE Premier DAC delivers a DNR of up to 116dB and THD+N of –106dB, a

performance level that will satisfy the most demanding audio enthusiasts.

The ES9010K2M SABRE Premier DAC’s Hyperstream

 architecture can handle up to 32-bit, 384kHz PCM

data via I

Both

synchronous and ASRC (asynchronous sample rate conversion) modes are supported.

The ES9010K2M SABRE Premier DAC is powered by a single VCCA supply, with internal regulators

generating the core and analog supplies. The DAC comes in a 28-QFN package, supports 1.8V logic levels

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