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

RE: Wonder what DAC chip(s) they use (nt)

DrN is absolutely correct! In fact if you click on the link below it will take you to the MP-D2 DAC on Musical Paradise's website! If you scroll down until you come to the paragraph titled Technology you'll see in that paragraph it says;

"MP-D2 is powered by latest XMOS U8 asynchronous USB chip and 2x AKM flagship VERITA AK4490 32bit DAC chips. XMOS Incorporated with three super high precision TCXO clocks deliver lowest jitter performance. Dual AK4490 in mono block configuration and custom voltage setting deliver 126db dynamic range performance. MP-D2 supports PCM up to 384Khz and DSD64, DSD128, and DSD256."

There's a lot of useful information about the MP-D2 DAC on this website. The amount of user flexibility of tube and caps types used in this unit is quite impressive to say the least...
