[QUOTE="croak, post: 100231, member: 361"] I think the poor TI Burr Brown rep comes from the fact that prior to becoming a TI company the best Burr Brown DACs were ladder types afaik and some feel that these were never truly bettered like the PCM63 and 1702. Folks making cheap outboard DACs would like you to believe the chip hype as it is easier to use the hyped chip then to do the rest right. This is but a guess but I think the actual DAC chip represents about 1/3 if that of the sonic signature of a decently designed DAC. Occasionally there comes a DAC chip that is easy to implement and suddenly it gets magic status as even fools get good sound out of it though it may not be the ultimate. [/QUOTE]
