GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DAC (with a highest sampling frequency of 192kHz) was previously only implemented in high-end consumer electronics, but is now achieved by PCs equipped with the ALC260(D). The ALC260(D) provides high-quality audio using S/PDIF to output analog data, or for multiple-source recording applications. Realtek’s proprietary impedance sensing and jack detect techniques allow device loads on inputs and outputs to be auto-detected. All analog IO are input and output capable, headphone amplifiers are also integrated at each analog output. All analog IOs can be re-tasked according to user’s definitions, or automatically switched depending on the connected device type (Universal Audio Jack®). The ALC260(D) supports 32-bit S/PDIF input and output functions and a sampling rate of up to 96kHz, offering easy connection of PCs to high-quality consumer electronic products such as AC-3 decoders/speakers, and mini disk devices. The ALC260(D) supports host/soft audio from the Intel ICH6 chipset, and also from any other HDA compatible audio controller.
