DAC chips

Truth is that the DAC chip is about the least most important question in "how good does a DAC sound?".
So many more important questions.  In my opinion, who cares.
If i absolutey had to choose, cost as a factor, AK.  But i would never, ever make a decision based on that,  But the AK would give me a few more bucks to work on the real design.
