My DAC allows a take on classic ladder (44.1k/16) or Delta-Sigma (up to 196k/24), both with some well thought out filtering.
I have not tried all (many!) options, but for 44.1k material I clearly prefer the ladder; Delta-Sigma seems more obviously reproduced: less direct, more dilute. I have not compared down-sampling high res for the ladder to native res Delta-Sigma, but will see what I can do this evening.
Generally, I just play at native resolution - ladder for 44.1k and Delta-Sigma for above. Both are satisfying.
Cheers,
91.

Follow Ups:
I have a friend who has an R2R ladder Dac, the TotalDac. It's in France being fixed now, and I will probably get to hear it pretty soon. AN(UK) has been working for ages on a similar product, but it seems stalled at the matching resistor manufacturing process. I am very impressed by their newest top-line of resistors and electrolytic caps.
