I only have partial knowledge of most concepts. In general, my understanding is that (from the teardowns of Meizu Hifi) there is a filter, then a USB audio bridge like CS46L41, then a DAC chip like CS43131, then an oscillator, a memory chip, many components that could be resistors or capacitors, and then wires connected to a 3.5mm jack.
Would there be any difference in sound between a large DAC in a case with DIY components and a palm-sized miniature of a mass-produced DAC?
E1DA/IVX is the only one to single-handedly create one of the best USB dongles, but isn't it possible for more people to do the same?
