RE: Are`DACs with the ESS Sabre the best DACs?

You really need to do some more research...

If you look at most companies flagship DAC's and CD players you most often find the Burr Brown PCM1704...and if the PCM1702 was still in production I'm certain you'd find that chip just as often.

Feel free to post back after you've done some real research...but the ESS is not the "chip of choice".
