The general idea is to put some stuff about the Audio-hardware of the Dune BD Prime here:
Welcome to discuss whatever you feel is missing or should be clarified on the audio section of the Dune HD and BD players.


==Overview==
The audio section of the BD Prime is relatively simple.
4 parallel stereo DACs make up the audio from signals passed from the main board.


==Hardware==
I wonder if I could take it out of Dune and attach to C200 Sigma board. Hardware aside, there would also need to be software components...
Signals to DAC-board

And the Audio DAC-board itself

To my best guess its the Cirrus Logic CS4344C DAC and AZ4580 operational amplifier on this picture

==Performance==
RMAA, other audio measurements?
 
All found so far is a review done by stereo.ru Jan 2010. Page 3/3 in the pdf indicates some graphs of performance. A copy can be downloaded from dune-hd.com.

==Hardware Modifications==
Can the current hardware be modified to improve performance
 
Can a replacement be fitted to create a real high end solution?
There is a possibility that the Buffalo II will be able to slot right in without any problems.

Buffalo II is a semi-DIY kit. It is quite expensive but should deliver insane performance.

Welcome to discuss whatever you feel is missing or should be clarified on the audio section of the Dune HD and BD players.
