It's not really a one-to-one DAC9 vs 901- different interconnects, and my DAC9 comes with the USB interface separately to reduce jitter. But yes, I can hear more of the DAC9 in the 801 than the 901
I'm not really sure you can do replaceable DACs because the implementation is probably key.
You would prefer 801 if you're into the pcm1704 type sound in the DAC9 . For me I opted for NFB-28 also with ess9018 over the reference 10.32 as I prefer the better resolution, more air, and deeper bass extension. But I still might be very tempted for a ref 10.33.....
Would be great if Fang would do a replaceable DAC section in his next flagship (while reduce the size, extending battery, eliminate bugs, and make it cheaper while he is at it....)...
We can dream right? RIGHT?!
