Audio ad converter ic

21st October 2010

As if you would notice. heh

Not me, for sure. But I have found time to collect some lists from different forums and decided to put them here, dont think there is one yet.

This list is UNCOFIRMED and everyone is free to correct me if some information is wrong. Also, It would be great to add more devices here, there are alot missing. I will update as soon as I can.

* specifications regarding SNR, THD, THD+N and other signal corrupted by noise values or digital dynamic range values in interface manuals are often misleading, cause many interface companies quote figures from the datasheets they receive from the manufacturers of the AD/DA chips (difference can be as much as 12 dB dynamic range, with a chip's DAC performance measured at 114 dB outside of the box, and 102dB inside the box)

Just because some interfaces share the same converter chip doesn't mean they will sound the same.

I updated a topic with some words regarding that and misleading digital dynamic range values. Check it out.
