August 27, 2008

ESS Technology, a leading provider of high performance audio/video solutions, today announced that its Sabre Premier 8-channel Audio DAC is shipping in volume in Samsung's new 4th Generation Blu-Ray Player, BD-P2550. Audio enthusiasts will appreciate the true studio quality, exceptionally wide sound stage and unmatched clarity of the BD-P2550's 7.1-channel analog audio output powered by the ESS Sabre Premier audio DAC (ES9006). With patented HyperstreamTM architecture and Revolver Dynamic Matching, the Sabre Premier delivers the best-in-class performance of any Blu-Ray player in the market with up to groundbreaking 120dB dynamic range and -102dB total harmonic distortion. In addition, a patented time-domain Jitter Eliminator allows Sabre Premier to reproduce audio free from clock jitter common in digital interconnect such as S/PDIF and HDMI. Robert Wong, vice-president of marketing and worldwide sales for ESS Technology, commented, "Most audiophiles prefer a high performance analog audio option instead of digital when it comes to high fidelity music and sound reproduction. Using ESS Sabre Premier Audio DAC ES9006, Samsung is now able to deliver audiophile-worthy 7.1 channels analog performance in a consumer Blu-Ray player." The Samsung BD-P2550 Blu-ray player will be available for demos September 3 - 6, 2008, at the CEDIA show in Denver, Colorado.
