The ESS ES9016S is a high-performance digital-to-analog converter (DAC) chip designed for audio applications. It is part of the ESS Sabre32 Reference series, known for its exceptional audio quality and advanced features.
The ES9016S chip utilizes 32-bit HyperStream architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator technology to achieve accurate and precise conversion of digital audio signals into analog form. It supports a wide range of audio formats and sampling rates, including PCM and DSD, allowing for high-resolution audio playback.
One of the key features of the ES9016S is its high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and low total harmonic distortion (THD), resulting in clean and transparent audio reproduction. It also incorporates advanced digital filtering and de-emphasis functions for improved audio performance.
The chip offers multiple digital audio input options, including I2S, S/PDIF, and USB, providing flexibility for integration into various audio systems. It is often used in high-end audio equipment, such as digital audio players, DACs, and audio interfaces, to deliver audiophile-grade sound quality.
