As mentioned above PSAudio, Chord and some others use software for the digital conversion but I have no idea if there is a chip somewhere in the signal path. They might use a chip on the digital inputs. CD player or streamer will have chips, not sure you can do digital and avoid using a chip somewhere in the audio path. If you stream from the internet there are chips in the modem that covert the analog to digital.
What are the DACs that use good circuits in the Audio sections?
I will admit that I have never meet an integrated circuit that I thought was worth my time/money. That said, is there a good DAC that is good in the conversion process but also has some real components in the audio section rather than "chips".
