High quality parts used delta-sigma dac vs cheap parts used r2r ladder dac

Esotar · May 5, 2016

Which is better?

I has used Korean made DAC ($7000) <Delta-Sigma> and now use EmmLabs DAC2X.

Of course DAC2X's sound is better than Korean DAC.

But I don't think there's a lot of difference.

Flagship parts are used delta-sigma dac is better that cheap parts used r2r ladder dac?

Please reply~

ps. I'm Korean. I can't speak english very well. Please understand me.

The precision of the resistors must be very good with R2R. DACs like the emmlabs don't need a precise resistor. So the quality of the resistor isn't very important with EMM DACs. Sigma Delta DACs are also easier to build, so there's a better profit margin.
