Oppo 205 DAC

I really like the sound from this player. I also have a Topping D30 with AKM chip which I did not like at all. It had nice high frequency detail but was otherwise hollow and thin.  

Wondering if it is the flagship Sabre chip or the implementation of the chip that makes the 205 sound great?

IOW, if Im looking to create a second system, should I focus on implementation design/output, or the type of chip(Delta Sigma),  or the easy answer both. Which one do you believe is more important?

Also, do R2R DACs sound "warm" and are they therefore lacking in detail?

I liked the oppo so much I pushed it further with a modright which helped with added gain but otherwise minimal improvement. Still love its sabre implementation.

Do R2R designs lose detail or have rolll off?
