M'era sfuggito, nella pagina ufficiale della Texas Instruments (che ha rilevato la Burr Brown) dedicata a questo DAC, l'angolo
del "Customer Reviews" di cui colpiscono le testimonianze... riporto un esempio:
"I've spent the last 17 years designing and building high end audio equipment. The PCM1704 if by far the best audio dac out there. It has no rivals. This product MUST remain in production. Double the price if you have to, but don't stop production! There is a large group of peope who enjoy perfect audio reproduction and they will be very dissapointed if this dac goes out of production.
Please keep it going!"
O queste:
" Please TI, don't EOL this chip. There are no replacements (especially not PCM1795, btw).
Suggestions (to keep it alive):
- Increase price; it will continue to sell.
- Create a super-spec K2-grade, price it at 10x the price of the K-grade. You'll be surprised to see the interest for such a product.
- Create a replacement for DF1706 that will do 16x OS for 44.1/48 kHz sample rates, also with a lot of different filter slopes to select from. Even better, include a clock cleanup cct with 2xPLL and a really low corner freq. "
" As I understood some overhead people at TI get greedy again about volume production and want to make more money on DAC delta zigma , no other DAC come close to this true multi-bit Burr-Brown PCM1704K masterpiece, or maybe SONY put a lot of money on marketing DSD concept that they couldn't sell it during 90's.
as feedback to marketing poeple whom make EOL this masterpiece (PCM1704K ) :
you don't know anything about Audiophile "
