DACs Used Across Various Models
I have been delving into the brand as I am building out more of the digital side of a new system.
One thing I am not certain about are the DACs that are used across the various models. My understanding is a DAC is more than just the particular chip that is employed - and it's been a little difficult to tell the various DAC implementations that are used (beyond the chip) in Esoteric's models.
For example, does the N-line (let's say N-01) use the same DAC implementation as the K1/K-01/K-01x? Are these DACs the same that are in the D1x/D-02x?
What I really am trying to do is figure out how to 'equalize' (ie 'the DAC is the same') across models, so that then it just becomes a question of functionality (i.e. cd transport vs network stream vs neither) knowing the DAC implementation/quality is identical.
Any help?
thanks!
