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

RE: Not all but many are discrete - RE: R2R is not just discrete!

Your comments don't make a lot of sense. I was simply pointing out that what a lot of people think R2R means is discrete resistors and what it used to mean was chips with far higher precision than can be dreamed of with discrete resistors. They were laser trimmed no less to get even more exact values.

It's funny that you say it wasn't the best DAC you ever owned but you don't say the PS Audio was actually better.

BTW. I own a PS Audio DAC...but its from the early 90s and uses the UltraAnalog D20400A 20 bit module and UltraAnalog receiver chip with discrete transistor output. It's not as good as Aries Cerat or Ayon but it is very natural sounding in a more realistic way than anything I have heard with an AKM, ESS or FPGA based DAC.
