That said, it may well be that what I don't like about Delta Sigma DACs may be implementation rather than the actual Delta Sigma DAC itself.
That's why I am most interested in early reports of the ESS9028.
Regards DSD, having heard native DSD files (Channel Classics, no PCM conversions in the chain) played back on really good (expensive) gear, I know what DSD is capable of.
All of this fuss about up-sampling PCM to higher DSD (256-512?) has me curious and the new GUSTARD DAC-X20U PRO at $800 with I2S input (no USB card) sounds interesting.

It is not a question of defense but internet manners in which one should accept at face value what is said. Any disagreement should be up for discussion and not for posters who feel that they are so 'expert' that they 'lord' over everyone else's views.
In this case, the poster knows essetially very little about good audio practice based on knowledge and not on assumptions, right or wrong.
Wrt Gustard X20 Pro, there is no reason to assume that the Singxer would be better. The Gustard has the U8 chip (8 Core) and uses Accusilicon XOs which have very low phse noise when you compare these with the ones in the SU1. There is also iolation built in as in the SU1, although sonically this can be good or not so good. So, for you dollars, you may as well start with the Gustard with the USB board.
while likely better than the AMANERO in my current DAC, still does not convert USB to I2S at DSD 512, which is one of the discussion points in this thread. Those who have upgraded from the AMANERO to the Singxer card think it's a big step up even at PCM 24/96. If my current residence had a decent place to work, I'd try slapping the Singxer card into one of my Audio-GD DACs first.
Regards DSD 512, neither does the Singxer box at this point, maybe soon.
For the $$ the GUSTARD seems a bargain, without without the USB card.
