DX7S (S stands for single timbre) is one of the improved versions of DX7 featuring the increased internal patch memory, upgraded implementation of MIDI significantly improving it and enhanced the output sound fidelity. The original model featured 12-bit floating point DAC + 2 bits of analogue companding (equivalent to 14 bits of dynamic range but not signal-to-noise ratio) while DX7S offered full linear 15 bits (a 16-bit DAC with the least significant bit tied off, nonfunctional).
