Anybody using the new ESS Vout DAC (ES9022)?

Hi Guys,

In the es9023 data sheet it says best performance will be obtained having at least fs256 for 32k to 96k sampling rates, so it should be fine to use 11.2896Mhz as the master clock.

Has anyone experimented with this?

Is the performance much better using 45.1584Mhz?

Or is it because 11.2896 has a smaller selection of good quality crystals?

Reason being MCK could be fed to a QA550 without using flip flops.

My understanding is that the jitter correction inside the ES9022(3) works better with a higher clock frequency.
The datasheet says at least .....
Two FF is easy enough.

But by all means try 11.28 without division and tell us if you hear any difference.

Ok, I'll give it a go for the hell of it, but if the advantage of higher clock rate is less jitter then I'm sold. Plus theres a better selection of crystals at higher clock frequencies anyway.

Hi guys,
I'm thinking of upgrading to ES9023. As I'm forced to use standard Sony format I need to use some glue logic. So all I need to do is to set the DAC to LJ mode and delay LRCK by 8 BCK cycles. A master clock 16.9344MHz is coming from an external clock source. This is how the setup looks like:

batteries powered

guys

how do you power your dacs with batteries

Is It fine just to use 3 x 1.2 V NIMH bat - I am scared as when battery Is charged It Is 1.5 V so Vss It Is not 3.6V but 4.5V

do I need to have 3.3 regulator after battery

do I need to use local decouple caps on Vss pins
