I've had good and not so good sounding ESS based DACs. Some were excellent.

My AKM DACs were all excellent. They're newer but I think it has more to do with implementation regardless of which DAC chips are used.

I don't know which older ESS DAC chips were used in my Oppo HA-1 DAC but that one in particular was lean and thin sounding. It was transparent but had no fullness or warmth to sound. My ESS based PS Audio DAC is quite the opposite. Go figure. Implementation ?
