They say no "over-sampling", but the DAC chip they use clearly does since it has internal digital filter and delta-sigma modulator stages. But as you say, all that matters is how it sounds, and the CS4398 is thought of highly by many. I was just pointing out that it doesn't belong in this thread.
The CS4398 is a complete stereo 24 bit/192 kHz digitalto-
analog system. This D/A system includes digital deemphasis,
half dB step size volume control, ATAPI
channel mixing, selectable fast and slow digital interpolation
filters followed by an oversampled multi-bit deltasigma
modulator that includes mismatch shaping technology
that eliminates distortion due to capacitor
mismatch. Following this stage is a multi-element
switched capacitor stage and low pass filter with differential
analog outputs.
