The Fusion 8D gives each pair of channels its own ESS ES9038K2M in dual mono, with all four chips clock-synchronized, for channel separation, low noise and dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DACs' current outputs feed NSL-4562 optocouplers that perform I-V conversion and analog gain control at once, followed by a Burr-Brown OPA134UA op-amp on each channel. There is no digital volume processing. Control, analog and digital circuits each have their own power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For and System Pairing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fusion 8D is for a multichannel or Dolby Atmos system built around separate power amplifiers. On a Mac it decodes over USB with no driver.
