Hi,

I'm currently listening to one of these CS4353 3.3v stereo Dacs with a 2vrms line driver built in. This does away with any coupling devices and external opamps. Sounds very good.
Anyone have any experiences with these?

Hi Duncan,

ESS also stock a dac chip with integrated 2v rms driver the ES9022 , its specs are not fantastic especially compared to their higher range more complex models but it looks very easy to use, dirt cheap and those who have tried it reported very good results

I've not tried either yet, may have to look into them though, look ideal for portable use too.
Did you use the evaluation board for the Cirrus part Duncan or did you just wire it up on vero?

That would be amazing.

Havnt quite finalised this yet Steve,i'll be doing some more comparisons tonight.

What i will say though in the context of my system the new slim 250 is a lot better than my old 80 gig version.
