DACs in the Peachtree Nova 150 vs WiiM Ultra


I recently bought the Peachtree Nova 150 and have a WiiM Ultra.  Not anywhere close to an expert here, so wondering the following:

Would the DAC in the "brand new" WiiM Ultra (ES9038Q2M) perform/sound better than the much older one in the Peachtree Nova 150 (ES9018K2M SABRE32 Reference)?

Thanks!!

I wouldn’t rush anything, leave it as it is for a while and get used to the sound. Then one day when you’re bored out of your mind, grab a coax cable and throw that into the mix. Now leave that in your system until the next time you find you have nothing to do. After a few times of doing this, it will become obvious which DAC you prefer the sound. 
it is more important in the way, the manufacture implements, the DAC then the chip itself.

I don’t know how to say this without someone coming unglued. Even the noob that I am was able to see this person is early in their journey. If they decide to continue with their journey, it will become obvious to them as a travel along, what they have. To nip it in the bud, with Negativity is one sure way to get them to quit. Once again, I really don’t mean to ruffle feathers it just mine got a little ruffled when I was reading your comments, sorry.
