What type of Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) chip is used in this hardware?

I can't answer your question directly, all I can do is tell you how I used the converter. Basically the converter extracts the audio (only) from a HDMI device. What I built was an awesome Wi-Fi music streamer. Chromecast to Audio Converter to 1.5 FT RCA Cable to SMSL T-Amp and out to a pair of Bose 151 Outdoor Speakers. Here is the parts list except for the speakers. Anyone can now use their smart phone to stream high quality music outside through this device and it works great. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DR0PDNE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DMZOUVK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003L1717K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A2QLGEQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You would use it into a Digital Input on an AVR or Surround Processor. I am not aware of car units that have this type of input but even if they did I would not use it as the DAC inside the DX90 will be better.

Agree with other folks who posted; get a headphone amp or maybe a USB DAC to take on the work of sound processing from the integrated sound card. Though they have gotten better integrated sound cards suck compared to a dedicated card or device. I was looking at picking up Audioengine D1 24-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter for my PC; so that I can connect my monitors and also use the head phone jack for these PC350 or my HD 600s.

Just RCA outputs. Would need a seperate HF amp that accepts RCA inputs. Topping DAC sounds sweet.

Garry , the DAC is driving the output. Good sound & I am happy with the product....

I would go with DAC unless you're interested in more clear lossless formats like FLAC.

I'd have to disagree with this. No laptop out I've ever tried is able to convert digital to analog signal cleaner than a dedicated DAC like the E7 can. The DAC in a laptop only costs a few cents and is subject to noise in the laptop enclosure.

Thanks for your question. You may connect a DAC using either the coaxial or optical digital inputs. This is a fantastic sounding amplifier. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Marantz dealer.

The Bifrost DAC would most likely go between your computer containing digital audio files and your pre-amp or integrated amp. It would be connected to your computer with an optical or USB cable and connected to your integrated amp with a pair of RCA cables.

I say this is a high quality Digital-to-Analog Converter in general. So unleas your computer has an extremely good sound card, this amp will work amazingly with medium to extreme quality headphones

Only analog RCA, stereo of course. That is the point - asynchronous digital usb communication to a very high quality DAC to yield the best analog signal out as possible.

Technically, yes, this DAC could be used between your TV's digital output and your amp, providing your TV has a digital audio output. If it's only offering analog (RCA cables) then the audio has already been converted.

VHD-ADAC unit can convert DD5.1CH or DTS5.1CH to 2CH L/R analog stereo. But the input is SPDIF, not HDMI. If you want to extract 5.1CH DD or DTS audio from HDMI, then you can use the VHD-H2HSAs with the VHD-ADAC behind it.

Not sure I understand the question. If you're asking if the USB interface is outboard the answer is no. The USB cable plugs directly into the back of the board so there are no "middleman" devices to convert digital to analog and vice versa (unlike Behringers Xenyx USB boards which have an external USB device). You will need to plug your speakers or headphones to the mixer in order to hear sound though. The output options are xlr, 1/4", and yes, RCA or "the red and white plugs".

I don't know about the voltage output on a dac, but my Cambridge Audio DacMagic works fine with my ESP-950.

Nope. As dmdmba said: the DAC part of the amp plugs into your computer's or digital audio player's USB port to get its input, and puts out an analog signal.

Only if your cd changer has digital output. For being ancient should not have. A DAC converts a digital signal to analog . Sorry for my English
