Yes, but you can only hear the difference in a blind listening test, trusting your own ears is not permitted.
That's odd, because I only listen with my eyes.

Finally found a technical video that shows Sigma Delta has issues with tracking fast changing(very steep sloping) signals: It is called Slope Overload Distortion. Also Sigma Delta has Granular Noise distortion.

Watch From 28m:50seconds onwards:
Hey guys, could use some help.
I need a DAC preferably under 200$ (unless there is one near 300$ that is A LOT better).
My gear: Audeze LCD-2 Rev 2
Gustard H10
Lossless files
Want a USB connection to computer
My goal is a setup with bass extension, slam, and control.
Thanks.
Have the same question. Can you guys please suggest some warm sounding DACs in that price range (closer to $300). I tried the iDSD micro but still doesn't feel as "blended" enough as I imagined it would be.

Gosh, why does this thread have 400+ pages of comments? Studio ADCs and DACs use D-S modulation and most relatively modern recordings went through numerous analog-digital / digital-analog conversions which means if there do exist D-S imperfections they are already on the recording and nothing can be done with it. Moreover I am willing to bet money that nobody will be able to tell the audible difference if Benchmark DAC1/ADC1 (D-S of course) combo is thrown in the signal chain that ends with say Schiit Yggdrasil.

how much money are you willing to bet ? Set the test, I'll take it.
Hint, I have a Dac1 hdr and a theta dspro genV
^ Yup, it's totally the DACs that make recordings sound bad. It's for sure not the Loudness War at all, no way Jose. That would be silly.
Hint: You might want to add a decent voltmeter to that combo before actually agreeing to do a test
My point is that ADC1/DAC1 will not add any coloration to the sound. And if you prefer the coloration your theta does, you will still have it regardless of analog-digital-analog conversion in your chain.
