You cannot compare different DACs such as one that is NOS and another that does OS. In my DAC, the NOS setting is way more musical, I built it that was for my own preference. The OS has its benefits also on my DAC. The soundstage gets wider, you hear more detail and more clarity. Nothing to me that makes me want to give up the musical (emotional) sound that the NOS provides. But people who have purchased my DAC prefer more details. Kid of like the tube vs. SS camps. As someone else mentioned above, always tradeoffs in this hobby.
Happy Listening.
