IMHO there is no such a thing called "the best DAC chip". BB1792, ESS9018, ... all are good chips.
The key to make an excellent DAC is much much far beyond which DAC chip you are using. Even these high-end chips are at most $40 per piece. I believe how to design the circuit and tweak all components are the most important, just like a good cook could turn his ingridients into a great meal.
