For both... 😉 you know I'm curious!

CS8412 versions
I have only CP versions. They all sound the same even with old date code of 1995. I dont know about these rumours about G or C versions. Or later revisions Jean-Paul talks about. First and last letter of the lettercode before the date are always a G just as in Sparkles example.
I find the old CS8412 better sounding on redbook CD's than the CS8414.
For the resetcircuit see:

Basically it is the resetcircuit from the CS8414 with the TI IC connected to it.

Did you *really* compare them A-B or is this from memory ? An absolute remark and contrary to my own findings.
Same over here. The fact that it is only available in SMD doesn't help either.
There will be new light in your story when you do the comparison yourself, Daniel. Never rely on info from others in audio-related stuff. But as a rule of thumb you can assume that the newer the chip the more chance you have that it has less bugs than its predecessors ( certainly with the more complex chips ). Which in this case is true. Age itself is not important as unused chips don't age significantly. This is not the case with electrolytics as we all know.
Daniel, I think you can't get any newer than GTAWZG0237 . The chip bears the Obsolete logo for quite some time now. Strange thing is that production seems to have continued till 2002. Your chips are from 2002.
Newer Revisions?
Jean-Paul,
Please specify what we have to look for: G****Gdate. What is according to you a later revision or do you only look at the date?
I did not see the "obsolete logo" on the chip, but is true that it no longer on the Cirrus website.
