"And no, there are no DACs based on Delta-Sigma chips that rival what can be done with the original PCM-1704 which explains why they sold out so quickly at $75 each while DigiKey, Mauser, and everyone else had reams of them."
That's a stretch. The real explanation is with audiophiles who embrace anything scarce, and the manufacturers who cater to such beliefs. Perhaps the PCM-1704 does present a "certain sound". Even if it does, that only matters to those who like that sound.
There are several DACs out there based on different chips and technologies that sound excellent. I'm not saying they all sound exactly the same but to conclude that PCM-1704 based DACs are better than any Delta-Sigma design is pure fantasy. IMHO, of course.
