[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 1043908, member: 1447"] as a quickie reply to the question - the alternatives are Delta Sigma DAC chips which have a different architecture .... the R2R are generally considered to have a better more analog quality to their sound signature with less digital glare - but obviously this depends on DAC design and implementation ..... the move to delta sigma DAC chips happened because they are cheaper to manufacture - its just like plasma vs LED or even tubes vs solid state .... each has their advantages and disadvantages - you have to take each component you look at, at its own face value ie listen to it or get anecdotes from people who have listened to it or read reviews (or do all of those things) to help you decide to chose whats best for you personally but as a vague generalization the R2R DACs are usually considered better [/QUOTE]
