You Can Hear the Difference

Tensilica's Xtensa HiFi 2 Audio Engine provides a fully optimized approach to embedding multiple audio standards into SOC designs. Based on Tensilica's proven Xtensa LX processor technology, it is optimized to run all of the codecs in a pre-packaged, drop-in format with all software components pre-ported. It can approach the performance of fixed-gate implementations, while providing the flexibility, time to market, and risk reduction of a processor. Simultaneously, it reduces silicon area and power consumption.

The quality of the 24-bit encoding is exceptional, and we want to prove it to you. We've received special permission to offer free music downloads from Hip Pocket Jazz Quartet. Hip Pocket Jazz Quintet has been playing in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1989. Pigsaw Juzzle marks the group's first all-original release. The cornerstone of Hip Pocket's philosophy is to create truly improvised jazz. All the solos are live and unwritten, never played the same way before. All the musicians are in the same room at the same time. There are no overdubs. Add to this the band's penchant for writing interesting and original chord changes, and you get a collection of tunes that, from composition to performance, sound fresh.

We're offering two tracks from their latest CD, "Pigsaw Juzzle". These were encoded with our encoders to showcase our quality.
