AK4438
108dB 768kHz 32bit 8-Channel Audio DAC
1. General Description
The AK4438 is an 8-channel 32-bit DAC which corresponds to digital audio systems. An internal circuit
includes newly developed 32-bit Digital Filter achieving short group delay and high quality sound. It
corresponds to a 768kHz PCM input at maximum, suitable for play backing high resolution audio sources
that are becoming widespread in network audios, USB-DACs and Car Audio Systems. In addition,
“OSR-Doubler” technology is newly adopted, making the AK4438 capable of supporting wide range
signals and achieving low out-of-band noise while realizing low power consumption. Moreover, the
AK4438 has five types of 32-bit digital filters, realizing simple and flexible sound making in wide range of
applications.
Application: AV Receivers, CD/SACD Players, Network Audios, USB DACs, USB Headphones, Sound
Plate/Bars, Car Audios, Automotive External Amplifiers, Measuring Instruments and Control
Systems.
