Cause of different sound between dacs

Just reading about the Esoteric K 03.
How does the output differ from the Alpha dac, for example.
What exactly is responsible for any sound difference assuming the balance of the systems identical?
Still confused by digital.

Of course. I was thrilled when I got the berkeley; I was more thrilled when I got the G25U upsampler/clock BUT the K03 brings it to another level. Layers and layers of info I did not hear before - but it sounds like it belongs there and should be there and makes the music 'right'. It has me thinking what a K01 can do.
