DAC vs DAC

Q: Do DACs really sound that different from each other? I thought all DAC chips sounded pretty much the same

A: Most DAC chips are indistinguishable from each other, but keep in mind that DACs have analog circuitry too, which changes the sound to a lesser or greater degree.

So for example I cannot tell the difference between Modi and ODAC most of the time but I can tell the difference between my NOS DAC and ODAC every time!

And between my Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100 and Modi every time (different analog circuitry specifically tuned by Cambridge Audio to sound warm for classical music)
