The problem is, you will hear differences among a range of DACs based on the ESS chips. And you will hear differences among a range of DACs based on the AKM chips. There are outstanding and crappy sounding DACs in both families.As such, IMHO you cannot generalize that AKM has a certain sound and ESS another. There are other factors that heavily influence the final result in the finished product. Just my 2-cents worth having owned good and bad sounding DACs based on both chip technologies.
But it's still fun to experiment and try different DACs.
