2016年2月13日 · The WM8740 has attained legendary status among some audiophile circles. Maybe that's why products based on it are still being sold. The funny part is that the WM8740 is long obsolete and out of production, so any new products containing WM8740 chips are either built with old-stock chips or (worse) chips lifted from scrapped devices.

2010年5月4日 · The reason why the WM8740 is still used a lot instead of the WM8741 is because the latter requires input on the sample rate which complicates the circuit. That's why most DACs with the WM8741 are upsampling: The DAC chip is set to a fixed rate (96 or 192Khz), an upsampling chip like SRC4392 converts any incoming datastreams to that rate.

2010年2月28日 · Two Wolfson WM8740 in serial as found in the upcoming DACMagic Plus from Cambridge Audio? Another thing, what is the benefit by putting two DACs after each other, in serial? Black Mini, a modified black Mac Mini:

2021年4月7日 · The DAC is made around two WM8740 chips and the USB receiver is made using CM6631A (from ebay) and the optical and coax input is made using the WM8804. The headphone amplifier is made using the TPA6120A2 and I …

2010年12月20日 · I was looking at the specs of the Cambridge Audio DACMagic 100 and DACMagic Plus. I prefer the tiny little shoebox of the DACMagic 100 but noticed that it comes with a single Wolfson WM8742 DAC chip whereas the bigger brother comes with dual Wolfson WM8742 DAC chips. On top of that, the DACMagic...

2023年2月27日 · WM8740 DAC designed and built by me As I ran out of CD players to measure :), I said that I will put the Cosmos ADC to good use and measure a DAC + headphone amplifier I made a while ago. This design started as a DAC only and evolved into a DAC and a headphone amplifier over time and the evolution is not done yet.

2021年4月2日 · Hi! I want to buy a DAC, I looked for a Topping D70, I don't know if it's recommended. I have a CA CXA80 amplifier with a Wolfson WM8740 DAC. What should you upgrade to? Maybe cheaper, cheaper Topping DACs? Thanks.

Asus Strix Raid DLX (D.C. coupled RCA & eliminated all electrolytic power supply caps replacing them with metalized film caps on the analog side), Modified JBL LSR305 (Metalized film coupling caps) with Tannoy TS10 subwoofer (D.C. coupled modified crossover, increased low frequency extension to 17Hz).

2018年12月18日 · @tparr I have an experience similar to yours I own an older Onkyo CDP that uses the Wolfson 8742 chip and a new Benchmark DAC3B that uses the ESS 9028PRO and I find the Benchmark presets more detail especially in classical and Jazz than my old Onkyo .
