Not sure on the chip. The guys at head-fi are saying that it's easily the best sounding smartphone audio output they've heard. I'd agree.
FWiW, the dac isn't the only important aspect in the headphone jacks audio quality. The analog portion comes into play significantly too. I think that's where HTC is leading the pack.
