What particular features of the pcm1793 are you after? Looking at the data sheet its functionally got much less features than the twl6040 - is it renowned for awesome audio clarity or something ?So on the CPU side, we know OMAP5 is not as cutting-edge as various current SoCs out there. Therefore on the sound side, please balance it out by giving us the cutting-edge pcm1793 chip instead of TWL6040.
FWIW, I recently upgraded the kernel on my laptop from 2.6x to 3.something, so I can now discover the state of my battery. According to those stats (which are the same ones I use on my Pandora to test its battery), that battery only has 20% of its stated capacity left, despite leaving it half-charged out of the machine most of the time, and never letting it run out completely. My Pandora battery on the other hand still has 85% of capacity (although it's about a year newer than my laptop).I have to say I use my laptop without battery most of the time and after three years I can still fully charge it (keeping it constantly topped up in a laptop is the worst for batteries) so being able to use without battery would be nice indeed
It's because Exophase said it's a superior chipWhat particular features of the pcm1793 are you after?

Superior to PCM1773, which is its direct predecessor. I don't know anything about how it compares with TWL6040, with or without external amp.It's because Exophase said it's a superior chip
(Sorry Exophase, don't want to put you on the spot, but you're one of the most respected member here so I had to quote you )

"Yay, after one week of debugging, measuring and testing, Nikolaus managed to speak to the LCD panel through the rotator chip."
Nice! I'm not sure they've got the rotator chip doing any rotation or other fancy stuff yet, but it sounds like they've got it working to pass through the video data already, and presumably got around the LCD init code problem they were having before. Awesome work guys!
