RME ADI-2 DAC FS has very useful and unique feature - bit perfect test built in it's HW. To use it you need to download test file (http://www.rme-audio.de/download/bit_test_wavs.zip) and play it. You will get confirmation on DAC's screen if test is passed for various sample rates. This means there is no DSP in signal path. If not passed, think about the differences in sound when using different audio platforms.
One more toy- download DigiCheck NG for macOS X - preview v0.85 (available for M1 as well) from RME Site. You will get nice spectrum analyzer and other tools on your MAC screen with DAC connected to your MAC via USB, the only limitation the source of audio must be spdif.
And to find out which chip is used you should check serial number, if you find 'C' at the end, then it's ESS, if not - AKM.
There is an interesting video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43kkU49sRLo) on differences between two.
