The SABRE DAC chips take the input format and convert it to 32 bits, perform volume adjustments if selected, convert to the high master clock rate (e.g. 1024x( and then noise-shape down to 6 or 8 bit format. When running in 8 channel mode the actual DAC is 6 bits wide (64 switches per channel) while running in 2 channel mode the DAC is 8 bits wide (256 switches per channel). The specific current output into the load depends on the desired level, which is encoded by the number of switches that are turned on or off. (This is described in the white paper, and more details can be found in the ESS patents.)
