That said, it may well be that what I don't like about Delta Sigma DACs may be implementation rather than the actual Delta Sigma DAC itself.
That's why I am most interested in early reports of the ESS9028.
Regards DSD, having heard native DSD files (Channel Classics, no PCM conversions in the chain) played back on really good (expensive) gear, I know what DSD is capable of.
All of this fuss about up-sampling PCM to higher DSD (256-512?) has me curious and the new GUSTARD DAC-X20U PRO at $800 with I2S input (no USB card) sounds interesting.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
