DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R


I have a general question, I am looking to buy my first standalone DAC, right now I have an Azur 851N, which is a streamer/DAC. As I look I continue to see discussions on Delta-Sigma vs R2R DACs.

I am in no way an audio expert nor do I have a good understanding of electronics.

In Laymen terms, Could anybody explain what is the difference between the 2 technologies?

@ noske :

The folk at Holo are disciples of certain funky marketing gimmicks which do not impress me.

Could you please specify in detail just what those ’marketing gimmicks’ Holo Audio employs are? Thank you!

I bought my Holo Audio ’MAY KTE’ DAC from Kitsune HiFi, Holo Audio’s U.S. dealer, which is based in Oregon. I had no issues whatsoever with either the dealer, Kitsune, or the delivery of my purchase.
