Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

nope: the D to A conversion process is just one part

of what goes into making a good DAC.

The Sabre chip can be crap or great or anywhere in between depending on the context within which it is implemented.

I would really continue your research before getting rid of your DAC.

For example, - have you tried using something other than your Audioengine?: personally, - I've never liked anything that I've heard by them.

Have you tried using an USB to SPDIF converter?

Have you tried a different Toslink cable?

IMO, there's a ton more at play here than any given digital to analog converter....

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
