"The truth is, the bad rap about harshness with Delta Sigma designs probably lays more with a designer's poor implementation of the input and analog output stages of the DAC and less about the kind of chip used for the digital to audio conversion."
I would have to agree with that.
And I would have to say that not all R2R / NOS DACs sound better. In my limited experience with two R2R DACs both were smooth and excellent with 'simple music' like a female vocalist and piano but they became 'congested' and lacked dynamics with more 'complex music'.

Is this the legendary Abe Collins, after all these years? Good to see you are still caviling about something. Neal
