Why? Sure, AN DACs and other stuff are stuffed with exotic, expensive components, meanwhile the DACs digital section is decades old, obsolete technology. Do the AN DACs really work or sound better?Of course you're going to find people who say they do but it's based on purely subjective preference. Various SOTA DACs with amazing measurements that can be had for under $1000. Once you leave that realm you're choosing among the thousands of different distortion profiles that are out there: good luck with that.
