Features

One of the main features of the Astell & Kern USB-C Dual DAC cable is its two cirrus logic CS43198 master HI-FI that supports DSD256 and also 32bit/384 kHz playback.

It does so through a complex and highly integrated circuit chip mounted on a small, six-layer PCB at the size of 14 x 41 mm.
