"One of the reasons we like the AKM4399 (and 4396) is that they use switched-capacitor filters to provide out of band noise performance that is more similar to a multibit DAC. As far as we know, they're unique in this regard. They're still delta-sigma, but they're a rather nice implementation of delta-sigma."
Apparently this is a Delta/Sigma dac that doesn't upsample. I tend to classify nos dacs as those that use the old ladder chips but that is just me. I have Schitt stuff for my headphones and it is very good. Killer at its price points
