They even had their own magazine for a brief time:

Hey Sckramer, cool man! A single chip version :-). I guess ya gotta save

Well, I do have a 4-chip TDA
Hi Archimago,
I ran across those strange TDA dacs, based on that old chip also --
here's the one I saw:

You know that it's possible to measure the difference between two
amplifiers in terms of s/n ratio and distortion levels and type of
distortion. Maybe I can

Re EQ. Fair enough. I can't be arsed, because I know that I accommodate

For example they can be found in some portable players. When power usage
is an issue, why waste it on useless hardware?
Furthermore, a lot of so-called 24 bit DACs perform like they are 16 (or
fewer) bit DACs front-ended
