There is so much more about a DAC than the chip that makes the D/A conversion.

Just because the ESS Sabre is a newer construction does it mean it sounds better than the two old TI 1792 used in the Expert range.

One of the best sounding SACD/DAC machines I have meet is a TAD DA1000 mk2 and that uses TI 1794 wich also is a older construction but it sounds excellent in this implementation.

Speakers:TAD CE-1. Amplifier: TAD M2500mk2. Digital: TAD DA1000-TX, Innuos Statement Next-gen, Innuos PhoenixNET.

Miscellaneous: Qobuz Studio, Ansuz Mainz 8 D2, Ansuz Darkz DTC, Tubulus Argentus ethernet cable, Tubulus Concentus USB cable, Tubulus Argentus V2 XLR cable, Tubulus Argentus V3 + V3 bass, iFi Nova powercables.

Second system
Qobuz Studio -> Devialet Silver Phantom, Devialet Tree
