It's all in the implementation. The chip itself isn't what flavors the final sound. There's a reviewer who loves his Denafrips which is a R2R design in his main system and keeps a Jay's Audio DAC which uses a AKM chip in another system and he loves both the sounds he's getting. The sound he got from an AKM chip in a Kinki Studios DAC sounded good, but not great enough to keep around. You're going to get a lot of conflicting answers.
All the best,
