VIA has been in the business of producing audio codecs and controllers for ... must be over twelve years now. VIA AC97 was the most common audio controller on desktop motherboards for a time. Then came the VIA Vinyl audio controllers, also featured on desktop motherboards, and the high-end Envy24 controllers that were found on third party sound cards. VIA has today joined the two monikers together in their announcement of the VIA Vinyl EnvyUSB VT1730 and VT1731 audio controllers.
The chips are designed to be featured on USB sound cards and professional level audio equipment like headphones, audio hubs, MIDI devices, recording consoles, etc. The VT1730 is 8-channel whilst the VT1731 is 2-channel.
"The VIA EnvyUSB VT1730 and VIA EnvyUSB VT1731 also support the I2S standard enabling Blu-ray Disc™ audio content protection; solutions without this feature dramatically reduce audio quality to that of a regular CD, with a sampling rate of only 16-bit/48kHz."
