ROHM Unveils Second-Generation MUS-IC™ Audio DAC for Hi-Res Audio with HD Monaural Mode

Enhancing Spatial Reverberation, Quietness, and Dynamic Range for True-to-Life Sound

Kyoto, Japan, Jan. 23, 2025 – ROHM Co., Ltd. has announced the launch of its second-generation 32-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) chip, the BD34302EKV, as part of its flagship MUS-IC™ series. Designed for high-resolution audio playback, this advanced DAC chip incorporates cutting-edge technology to deliver a superior listening experience while preserving the natural “texture” of musical instruments.

Building on the success of its predecessor, the BD34301EKV, which gained acclaim for its exceptional sound quality, the new BD34302EKV elevates performance with a refined design concept focused on producing a natural, flat sound. By integrating three key elements—spatial reverberation, quietness, and dynamic range—the chip achieves unparalleled realism in audio reproduction, bringing listeners closer to the essence of the original recording.



Advanced Features for Premium Audio

The BD34302EKV introduces a proprietary algorithm for data-weighted averaging (DWA), resulting in a Total Harmonic Distortion plus Noise (THD+N) of -117dB and a THD of -127dB. These metrics underscore the chip’s ability to capture the intricate details and textures of sound. With a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 130dB and support for sampling frequencies up to 1,536kHz, the chip allows users to maximize the potential of their digital signal processors (DSPs) for ultra-precise audio calculations.

The DAC also includes ROHM’s exclusive HD Monaural Mode, which allocates a dedicated DAC chip for each audio channel. This configuration delivers a smoother, more natural soundscape, ideal for high-end audio systems.

Uncompromising Craftsmanship
ROHM’s attention to detail extends to the selection of optimal bonding wire materials for the BD34302EKV, ensuring precise transmission of the audio signal. These meticulous design choices reflect ROHM’s commitment to crafting an authentic and immersive listening experience.

A Legacy of Excellence in Sound Design
With over five decades of expertise in audio technology, ROHM continues to set industry benchmarks through its MUS-IC™ series, which has become synonymous with high-fidelity sound. The company’s latest innovation reaffirms its position as a trusted partner for premium audio manufacturers worldwide.
