"I understand besides the 1543 being the pinnacle of 16 bit design by this time"
The TDA1543 was hardly the pinnacle of 16 bit design. In fact it was designed as a low cost DAC to be be used in discmans, etc. They sound quite similar to the venerable 1541 chip imho, but without as much resolution.
As is, these chips sound pretty good, but lack ultimate resolution, smoothing out low level ambience, etc. One cool thing about these chips is that they can be easily paralleled, and also they tolerate passive IV conversion well (ie they don't mind their current output pins having varying voltage). Paralleling improves their performance but you still don't get all the detail retrieval that's possible with really good DAC chips.
IMHO.
