I don’t hear this purported advantageous asset with comparisons as stated earlier.
That fine if you can't, but I do with CD's 16/44 or the magic sounding Reference Recordings 24/96 CD's that have HDCD encoded which my Linn CD12 thankfully can do with the PMD200 chip.
The best which I've yet to hear from what I've been told is DXD.
I've heard the defunct DVD-A which was very good, better than the Reference Recordings above it's a pity it didn't take off.
This is a good read from MSB Technologies, they use R2R Ladder in their top line dacs. (big bucks)
