Hi,
Most modern dacs have hybrid multibit/delta sigma chips. The best of them indeed sound very good, slammy and very detailed without being strident..
But old school R2R multibit dacs are still a viable choice (like the PCM1704K based Master 7 suggested by Alan) if you value natural lifelike tone and timbre, unforced detail and dynamics. And that cohesiveness of the musical whole that can really be elusive in most digital front ends.. One R2R multibit option is the Audial Model S USB, a TDA1541A based non-os usb dac.. I have a limited production diy kit dac from them, an older design, that keeps me listening without fatigue. So I imagine that the newer more elaborately designed non-kit offering would sound just more refined and sublime in all aspects. I personally would choose the option with the Jensen high nickel line output transformers in the output stage....
