Do you mean the Sabre or the 1704?

The 7014 chips you mentioned earlier. Thanks
Well I know of no SACD or DSD players that use the 1704, but plenty of high and boutique players tht use it. A search on here will reveal several.
The chip was/is manufactured by Burr Brown (BB) or Texas Instruments (TI). The best measuring examples are the 'K' versions. My own player uses four of the PCM 1704-K chips. Audio-GD have used them a lot recently. Wadia was known for using them quite a bit, and many others.
Before the Metrum, MSB, TotalDac and Schiit's of this world re-invested in R2R technology, the 1704 was considered second only to designs produced by Ultra Analog for high end digital audio reproduction, that I can recall. Another flavour of audio greatness can be had in Philips' own TDA 1541A, of which you are probably aware. Implementation requires care. Done right, can be very satisfying.
