The question that's been dogging my CD player reviews is whether 1-bit DACs are inherently inferior to multi-bit units, or whether I've just been unlucky (or hearing things).
A New Generation of Digital Audio Based on the 6-bit architecture found in the Company's popular WM8716, the WM8728, and the other two products (WM8706 and WM8729) mentioned in this release, are 64 times less sensitive to clock jitter than a 1-bit DAC, thus resulting in better sound quality.
Together, these technologies substantially reduce both noise and signal distortion compared with traditional 1-bit DAC designs.
