Intended for portable devices, adding more power to make tiny speakers sound better, allow EQ boosting bass, etc. Could it sound good enough for 110dB hifi horns?

Interesting find Richidoo. Whole lotta chips going on these days. Here a chip there a chip everywhere a chip, chip.
    How can we as analog beings handle the onslaught of the chip ? To chip or not to chip. I think da horns are better suited for analog [ tubes] than da chip. However one never knows until one tries.

Charles, a chip is not necessarily digital. It is just a means of implementing a circuit...

That's pretty cool Rich, but are there any more pictures of the redhead?
