That is where D-S tricks people into believing what they are hearing is real detail. At the most extended high frequencies I could see a D-S DAC being more detailed, but macrodetail or the big picture of what you are hearing is going to be more convincing and analog on a quality R2R
Agree with this as well. The microdetail is almost eerie in how unnatural it sounds with the Sabre DAC I was using prior to the DAC-19/V220 setup I'm using now. It was almost like your attention was being forced as opposed to naturally being drawn to different instruments or voices. While it was fatiguing from being too bright for my ears, it was also fatiguing in that it wasn't an enjoyable or relaxing listen. I've used the term "melt" a lot, and it's a similar feeling to being at a concert and being able to indulge in the music washing over you. What a delight!
