How about the difference between DACs that use R2R oversampling versus no oversampling? Is this marketing speak or is there a perceivable difference?
R2R can have audible difference in a lot of cases, I think that’s pretty well established. There’s slight differences in other DACs as well, it’s just aberrations or quirks or very small improvements more than these magical epic improvements people attribute to them that aren’t ..possible. If it’s better is sort of the spin on R2R. There’s a case for it being inferior tech and there’s a case for it being preferred. It’s not something I’m interested in but I sort of view it like tube amps, if a person wants to pay for what it does it’s their money. I rarely see the R2R or tube amp people trying to spend newbie hobbyists money for them.
It’s absolutely inferior tech. I like the result, though. I think I’m running an Aries II.
