dac chip vs analog stage as to sonic impact
when buying a cd player or dac, which has more impact on the sound of the component, the dac chip or the analog stage ?
to what extent can a tube analog stage "offset" the effects of a dac chip ?
if one were to assign a percentage contribution to the dac and analog stage as to the affect upon the overall sound, what might the numbers look like ?
