ES9010K2M

Premier Stereo Mobile Audio DAC

The ES9010K2M SABRE Premier DAC is a high-performance 32-bit, 2-channel audio D/A converter targeted for portable high-fidelity audio applications such as mobile phones and digital music players, consumer applications such as Blu-ray players, audio pre-amplifiers and A/V receivers, as well as professional applications such as recording systems, mixer consoles and digital audio workstations.

Using the critically acclaimed ESS patented Hyperstreamä DAC architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, the ES9010K2M SABRE Premier DAC delivers a DNR of up to 116dB and THD+N of –106dB, a performance level that will satisfy the most demanding audio enthusiasts.

The ES9010K2M SABRE Premier DAC’s Hyperstreamä architecture can handle up to 32-bit, 384kHz PCM data via I²S, DSD-11.2MHz data as well as mono mode for highest performance applications. Both synchronous and ASRC (asynchronous sample rate conversion) modes are supported.

The ES9010K2M SABRE Premier DAC is powered by a single VCCA supply, with internal regulators generating the core and analog supplies. The DAC comes in a 28-QFN package, supports 1.8V logic levels and consumes less than 40mW in normal operation mode (< 1mW in standby mode).
