I almost can't imagine they've actually developped their own DAC circuitry/IC from ground up but perhaps they have, or they've just OEM'ed something that they may or may not have also integrated in their own ICs.
Gold Phantom (https://store.devialet.com/no_en/gold-phantom.html) (link shared by Hisbull here: http://devialetchat.com/showthread.php?tid=3157):
Devialet DAC embedded in ADHV2 intelligence 24bits/192kHz
Silver:
TI PCM1798 24bits/192kHz
That may be an issue of integration and cost. Each Phantom has 4 ADH amplifiers with SAM on 3 of them, iirc.
