With all the news on the new gold phantom, no one has mentioned what dac they are using inside. Old phantoms were limited to 192/24 with the TI dac inside. Hopefully they have upgraded it to a dsd capable dac. Anyone?

This comparison should amswer your questions.
Anyone could listen to them?
Cheers

I am glad they did not put an ESS chip in there. While the ESS Sabre DAC is very popular, I do not think it is the best. If the 1792 where to be replaced I think Devialet should look at using R2R for even better sound. As you say, it is all PCM processing anyway.
