January 23, 2006 -- Wolfson Microelectronics today announced that Onkyo has selected the Wolfson WM8740 stereo DAC for use in its new range of high end CD players and AV receivers. Wolfson's high performance DAC provides Onkyo's customers with excellent audio performance in the C-777, DTX-10, TX-NA1000 and C-1VL systems.

"Our customers expect the best possible audio output from their AV equipment," commented Onkyo. "When designing this new range of products we needed a supplier that could achieve outstanding audio clarity. In our opinion, the Wolfson device delivers the best pure audio output available on the market today."

In addition to 16 to 24-bit data input word lengths and 192-kHz sampling rates, the WM8740 from Wolfson also features a serial interface port, digital interpolation filter, multi-bit sigma delta modulator and stereo DAC encapsulated in a small 28-pin SSOP package.
