Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's?

@chiliray 

on a good hp setup i think you will definitely hear a difference when you go to better more resolving dacs than what you have tried thus far

i would agree there is considerable confusion oversimplification and misunderstanding regarding what goes into a dac and what inside a dac contributes to how it sounds as a finished product -- r2r or delta-sigma chip-based d/a conversion is but one of several key factors...

here is a place to start... an old thread from several years back, you can page down and scan for my comments trying to clarify the subject
