CS43130 DAC Operates at 4x Lower Power
Consumption and Includes a NOS Filter and 512 Single-Bit Elements
for Natural, High-Fidelity Sound Reproduction
With demand growing worldwide for high-fidelity music content
and playback through mobile devices, Cirrus Logic (NASDAQ: CRUS)
has introduced the low power CS43130 MasterHIFI™ digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) with headphone amplifier. The CS43130 DAC features
a unique Non-Oversampling (NOS) emulation mode – believed by many
audiophiles to contribute to the emotion of audio by providing a
similar feeling as valve amplifiers or vinyl records – offering
listeners a natural, euphonic sound missing from modern consumer
products.

The Cirrus Logic CS43130, as well as the DAC-only CS4399 for
professional audio, uses 512 individual DACs per channel in an
analog/digital filter array to deliver the highest grade
reproduction of high bandwidth, high resolution digital audio
sources. This preserves the pure audio and helps to filter out the
unwanted noise while providing high jitter immunity for ultra high
quality music playback. The result is music and audio as close to
the original recorded source as possible.
“Smartphone OEMs worldwide are accelerating product development
efforts to give consumers a better listening experience that takes
advantage of the growing accessibility to high resolution streaming
and downloadable music content,” said Carl Alberty, vice president
of Audio Products Marketing, Cirrus Logic. “Our customers and
market leaders recognize the value and legacy of the combined
Cirrus Logic and Wolfson Microelectronics audio engineering
expertise, and our new high-fidelity products, such as the CS43130
DAC, deliver audio quality so true that it’s almost like being in
the recording studio with the artist.”
With a THD + N of -108 dB and dynamic range of 130 dB, the
CS43130 has been designed from the ground up to focus on both
superior hi-fi audio playback and ultra-low power consumption. The
Cirrus Logic CS43130 consumes 23 milliwatts of power—four times
less than other industry mobile hi-fi DACs—which helps to maximize
battery life. The CS43130 supports up to 32-bit, 384 kHz sample
rate audio playback, ensuring the best possible listening
experience.
Most smartphones and mobile devices today have greatly increased
their storage capacity, allowing consumers to move beyond standard
compressed audio sources, such as MP3, and adopt higher resolution
audio (aka “lossless”) formats. These formats, such as FLAC, Pono,
LDAC and others, require more storage space on the device, but can
deliver a higher quality audio experience. Premium audio content is
also increasingly being offered to consumers via streaming
services, such as Spotify®, Google Play MusicTM and Tidal®.

- High resolution audio format support:
Direct Stream Digital® (DSD), DSD DoP (DSD over PCM), up to
DSD128
- Proprietary DSD processor handles
switching between DSD and PCM audio streams, while matching the
analog audio output level
- NOS emulation mode offers natural
CD-player sound missing from modern-day DAC design
- 512 single-bit elements helps to
eliminate unwanted noise from the signal for best filter
response
- Analog bypass switch provides easy
switching between hi-fi and voice call modes and includes a low
