Delta Sigma DACs


Can a Delta-Sigma DAC translate both DSD and PCM streams to analog?  If so, how does it handle the inherent differences in their coding formats? If not, are there any brands of DAC that accept both formats?

Then why do R2R DACs sound better than Delta Sigma?
In fairness, better or worse sounding is somewhat subjective and at the discretion of the ear of the listener.

That said, and based on the relatively few delta-sigma and multibit DACs I’ve heard, I prefer multibit as it is more authentic and not as digital sounding to my ears.
