Realtek ALC888 vs ALC888A differences?

[Fedaykin311]

What is the difference between these two chipsets? Realtek's website is full of market speak and not a breakdown of differences.

The graph lists two 888's, but which one is the "A" variant is anyone's guess.

Probably different steppings.

I doubt you would be able to tell any difference from just listening

This is just off the top of my head - but doesn't the A version have DDL support but non A doesn't?
