there seems to be alot of talk about them on here lately, some say they differ greatly from one another, and some not, i've only compared two, the dac in my airport express and a vdac that i had.
i couldn't really find any difference between them, so i sold the vdac, so being an inquisitive so and so i've been thinking, how can they differ? i mean how would an arcam rdac have arcam "house" sound and a rega dac the rega house sound?
if the actual dac chip just converts the digital data to analogue, how would there be a difference in sound? how can one dac give better bass for example? because anything that's added would have to be done so after conversion, how could this be done? how would the other electronics (actual dac chip aside) be able to influence the analogue output?
i don't get it.....
