They are here, You are there

No, not a Progresive insurance discussion.I have recently been listening to different dacs comparing Delta-Sigma oversampling dacs vs non oversampling ladder dacs. I have noticed a characteristic of the sound presentation that tends to distinguish these two types of digital decoding. The nos dacs tend to bring you into the room where the recording was made . The Delta/Sigma dacs bring the music into your listening room.. I have also heard many systems that do on or the othere.Have any of you heard what I am talking about and could explain the reasons why some equipment does one type of presentation and othere equipment does the opposite. I have my own ideas and if we get a discussion going on this topic I will chime in further.
