Does the ESS Sabre Chip have a telltale sound?


Wondering if DACs using these chips share some sonic traits vs DACs using Wolfson and other chips, of if the biggest sonic traits of DACs are influenced by other components in the DAC?

Stereophile measurements say the Simaudio 650D, which uses the E
SS Sabre chips, is pretty immune to jitter. Maybe Simaudio has other systems in play to handle jitter?

What sampling output rate were you using with the off-ramp that you found worked well with the Sabre chip?

Back in those days I would upsample - don't do it so much these days.

Obviously since it performed pretty good with the Off-Ramp it can be in designs that don't have the usual issues.

I heard a Wiess Minerva yesterday for the first time. Very nice sound - nearly as good as the Killer I was hearing it against and better than a Playback Designs and about the same as the Phasure that was also there.

Of relevance to this thread is someone told me this was Sabre based. If so I couldn't really detect the Sabre signature - first Sabre based DAC I have heard like that.

The caveat is if true - I couldn't find any info it was Sabre based.

Thanks
