Looking for who said what in the sound world? Well there is no better place to find every audio related press release than 3DsoundSurge.!

The DSD1700 was designed using Burr-Brown's high performance audio DAC technology under technical consultation by Sony Corporation for DSD technology. The device directly converts 1-bit, 2.8224MHz digitally sampled data (the basic technology of Super Audio CD) to an analog signal. This simplified format for recording and playback results in superior audio performance when compared to current CD-quality sound.

``We are excited to have worked with Sony to introduce our first DSD audio DAC for Super Audio CD,'' said Mike Centorino, audio product marketing manager at Burr-Brown. ``Combined with Sony's DSD decoder, the DSD1700 allows the user to achieve the high performance and sound quality associated with the Direct Stream Digital technology.''

The DSD1700 is a single-channel DAC consisting of a double differential analog FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter. It features a wide frequency range up to 100kHz with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and dynamic range of 110dB.

The DSD1700 directly interfaces to a DSD decoder and operates on an 11.2896MHz (256fs) system clock. The device is packaged in a small 28-lead SSOP and operates on a single +5V power supply.

The DSD1700 is priced at $9.95 in 1,000 piece quantities. Delivery is from stock.
