The main component of the board is the MP3 decoder, the chipset MAS3507 from Micronas.
This chip receives mp3 stream and convert it to an uncompressed signal.
For more informations, look at Micronas datasheet (399k).
The second component of the board is the DAC converter, the chipset DAC3550 from Micronas too.
This chip receives numeric audio stream and convert it to analogic audible sound.
The chip provides 2 outputs. One of them is amplified for connect a headphone, and other one isn't amplified for connect to any amplifier.
