It's interesting that you guys would pick a DAC purely based on the chip... despite the fact that the analogue output stage and the implementation of the chip has more to do with the overall sound quality at the end of the day...
I own a DAC Magic (dual WM8740), and I'm now moving on to the Rega DAC (dual WM8742) (I have one on order). Would be interesting to see the difference in the sound.
I've made this upgrade and the difference is pretty substantial. You'll be pretty happy once you hear the Rega!
It's not just the DAC chip but the implementation for sure. The DacMagic has dual wm8740 chips, just like the Rega Saturn, but the saturn sounds so much better.
