My experience does not support that theory. Regardless of the music I listen to with the NOS DAC, it just sounds very natural. Be it a symphony, a piano sonata, classical guitar, Miles Davis jazz, blues, rock, etc, the NOS DAC delivers a natural playback that is very much like a high end analog master recording.
On a very few DVD Audio/SACD recordings, a slight improvement in some areas of music reproduction is noted with the SABRE 9018 DAC’s, but even that is subject to debate.
Makes one wonder why most DAC manufactures use oversampling (low cost?). I did read on one of the university websites that to make a proper DAC and filter, there is some cost involved, and oversampling was a cheap method to work around the non-linearity issues encountered when designing a DAC.
