Blade has 12-bit DAC?!

[Guest ZhekSooN]

Yes, it has.

Simple empirical tests with few WAVs indicate about significant 12 bits at headphone output.

Would you repeat?

No problem, in any sound editor create a couple of WAVs with sine or square wave with 6 dB steep (equals 2 times or 1 bit), find a quite place with Blade and headphones and listen! At some moment you will notify that volume +/- doesn`t change real volume. Here you are.

Indirect observations indicate that Blade`s SOC MSM-four-digits has 12-bit DAC, for service purposes. Yeah.
