I would agree with you with regards to the detail of the sigma delta D to A conversion process. I only have to listen to the TC-7510 in order to notice how the implementation of a well executed SD design can bring to life that natural sound of analogue instruments and vocals.

Hey guys,
After around 6 yrs, does anyone of above posters have new experiences with current dacs vs 90s dacs?
I'm struggling between getting ifi idac2 or Panasonic sv3800.
I appreciate any new insight.
