An NOS Dac can present as much detail as any other type of Dac, it’s all based on the implementation and design. IME, NOS may sound more organic and less fatiguing than a Delta Sigma dac.
I actually think a design which implements a FPGA may have the smoothest sonics, but can also present a great amount of detail.
The analogue output stage is what determines the tonal colour or neutrality of the overall sound.
My NOS Dac playing thru an all tube system has a sense of realism and warmth with excellent microdynamics.
