2021年4月19日 · I am considering getting a DAC that uses the AK4191EQ/AK4499EX chip set. There are several DACs using this AKM chip combo that are nearly in the same price range: Topping E70V, SMSL M400, SMSL DO400EX, SMSL SU-9 …

2021年8月5日 · From AKM: "The AK4191EQ is a new concept Multi-bit stereo Premium Digital Data Converter employing VELVETSOUND™ technology. By using the AK4191EQ to process the digital signal for D/A conversion, we have minimized the effects of digital noise within the analog output, resulting in a perceived improvement of the ratio of signal to noise.

2021年3月28日 · Used AKM equipped DACs currently list for hundreds more than it’s competition and have always had a reputation for being in higher end model equipment. The AK4499EQ chip supposedly has great sound. It’s AKM’s fist current chip. It …

2022年6月1日 · In early 2022, AKM relaunched their line of DACs and we immediately started working on new designs, diving into the possibilities of this updated generation of DACs. UA3 is first of these designs, utilizing a freshly released AK4493SEQ DAC, for the first time bringing the sound of AKM into our UA line of portable DAC/AMPs. UA3 builds upon the ...

2022年7月21日 · M6 Ultra is our first portable player adapting the newest generation of AKM DACs, utilizing four pieces of AK4493SEQ for a unique Quad-DACs design. This multi-DACs concept was inspired by a few old-school Shanling CD players, with an aim to maximise the potential of DACs for a balanced circuit.

2021年3月28日 · I really like the super slow profile (marketed as the more natural/life like profile by AKM) on AKM DACs, especially with music sampled at 88khz or higher (truly sampled at higher rate, not upsampled 44khz which can also disguise as higher sample rate file). I cannot generalise ESS vs AKM though.

2019年2月27日 · Is it correct to say that the AKM 4493 is the best dac? Now I know that the Topping DX3 has this dac. But I don't want to buy it because I don't trust the build quality. Now I am looking which companies use this dac also. And with a maximum cost of 200-250€. Can someone recommend me some or are there no good dacs with the AKM 4493 at this price?

2022年7月22日 · Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM) has developed a new flagship stereo D/A converter (DAC), the AK4499EX, which is newly designed as a complete separation of digital and analog circuitry solution in conjunction with the AK4191 and is based upon the world-class predecessor AK4499 Current Output DAC.

2020年3月31日 · I would have guessed that these are the first in a series of mix-'n-match DAC chipsets from AKM.If you have (say) 3 different ΔΣ modulator chips and 3 different analog filter chips, you can offer DAC designers 9 different combos while only having to manufacture 6 different chips (with larger production runs for each).

2021年8月5日 · If they were all the same and the 4493 came out like this (with an S on the end!), I wonder what their other DACs will come out like. The 4490R looked the same on the surface, but that was just 44.1/48kHz. at 96k, its THD+n improved 3dB, and at 192 it improved another 3dB! I only glanced at that datasheet, but I'm pretty sure that, like the ...
