I've checked this thread periodically and commend @mattnshilp for putting his money behind these various DACs- it seems like this has taken on a life of its own, with lot's of good comments.
I've never done digital seriously, and am now contemplating it for the first time.
My question- without wading through all of the thousands of postings- is whether, for Redbook, the r2r type (whether discrete or chip based) no oversampling, no filter type, e.g. Audio Note and the like, are as good as some of the more modern DACs. I have little interest in DSD, SACD, networking, ripping, or streaming. Just playing standard CDs. TIA.
