Hi and thanks a lot again for the very valuable advice.
Main discussion is about the dynamics available from sigma-delta dac chips being quite inferior to old multibit dacs.
With the outcome that sound from old multibits is much more realistic even if maybe less refined and precise ?
Strange the switch of the Counterpoint designer from UltraAnalog multibit to a new sigmadelta chip.
I would not do that on the basis of what i have learned here.
The good old dacs are very rare in the 2nd hand market, and this should mean something. Or sold for big money.
But if the new multibit dac from Schiit will be very successfull i am sure many other will follow. I am absolutely sure of that.
So i think that this dac could be epochal. Some kind of a milestone.
The revenge of multibits !
Above all other things it promises to give a never heard sound from cds !!!
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
