Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

False in One, False in All

The information is blatant misinformation by a web site selling a competing product. Either the people who wrote it are technically incompetent (at best) or dishonest (at worst). I would dismiss the entire site as bogus. "False in One, False in All."

Those 6 bits are clocked at 40 MHz. This is not like clocking them at 44.1 kHz. This should be compared to 1 bit being clocked at 2.8 MHz which provides excellent sound on SACD recordings. To quote the number of bits without discussing the clock rate is deceptive. Furthermore, when run in 2 channel mode there are actually 8 bits, not 6.

There are various portions of the chip that can be independently configured, so the statement about not being unable to disable features is false.

Finally, the SABRE chips are presently being used in high end DACs, such as the Denominator Module sold by Wavelength Audio.
