ES9018K2M
32-bit Stereo Mobile Audio DAC
Product Brief
The ES9018K2M SABRE³² Reference DAC is a high-performance 32-bit, 2-channel audio D/A converter
targeted for audiophile-grade portable 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 32-bit Hyperstream DAC architecture and Time Domain Jitter
Eliminator, the ES9018K2M SABRE³² Reference DAC delivers a DNR of up to 127dB and THD+N of
–120dB, a performance level that will satisfy the most demanding audio enthusiasts.
The ES9018K2M SABRE³² Reference 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 ES9018K2M SABRE³² Reference DAC comes in 28-QFN package and consumes less than 40mW in
normal operation mode (< 1mW in standby mode).
The ES9018K2N SABRE³² Reference DAC sets the standard for HD audio performance, SABRE
SOUND^TM, in an easy-to-use form factor for today’s most demanding digital-audio applications.
