DAC in new Commodore phone...

[sunvalleylaw]

Wanting to change my interaction with the communication device in my pocket but still have music and photos if I want. Checking out the new Commodore phone. It is supposed to have a very good DAC, which is listed as from ESS and Cirrus Logic. Wondering if anyone can tell me anything about it.

Are there any more specs on what ESS and Cirrus Logic processors they used?
I like the idea of a flip phone with these added features.

I don't think so, and was asking here if anyone else new of any. It is pre-order right now, and those in the know cannot release specific technical details, but one reviewer indicated the details he received looked good, not low tier, and he figured all but the "audiophile super-snob" would be pleased. But not sure what that means. I am guessing it will mean I am fine. I am good with a 2008 or so iPod DAC so, ...

This guy is the one that said that. I tried to make the link I shared start it at about 3:33 where the info is, but if not that is where in the video that part is discussed.

Neato, I was kind of following Retro Recipe's Buying Commodore over the last few months but didn't know about the phone.

It looks like it's pretty close to being released.

He say audiophile super snob like that is a bad thing.



If this thing comes with WhatsApp and anything to do with FB, I would need to run it through a VPN and pi-hole server. I do that anyway, when using an untrusted coffee shop WiFi, but I don’t go looking for trouble by running such apps on my phone. He is right. Commodore needs to dump WhatsApp!

I wonder if it will play AIFF files? That is the standard I use on my music server.
