Abe, I certainly defer to you in your role as President of the DAC Club for men (also a customer). I have access to a DAC using the old Burr-Brown R-2R-like chips and a more recent one with AKM sigma-deltas. I prefer the former but that may just be because I am more used to it.
I don't doubt that at the product level there are differences - where they come from, though, is intriguing. I suppose that is how the manufacturer tries to add value and then tell a story to persuade customers to make them think they do add value.
