Burr-Brown vs Wolfson

All the CDPs I look at in my shopping process sport either the Wolfson WM8740 or Burr Brown 1732 DAC.

I have read good and not so good things about Burr-Brown.

Is the first better than the other? Are there any major differences between the two?

One more thing : might it be one or the other, are two DACs better than just one? Isn't one enough?

The implementation is much more important than the brand of DAC. Same goes with for the quantity of DAC chips, although in this case there is a theoretical benefit to increasing the number of chips.

You gotta listen to the players and decide for yourself.

Enjoy,
