Telstar, when you say NOS, I assume you are referring to what have apparently come to be known as NOS DAC modules, correct? The first time I heard about them was from the Wavelength web page, quoted below :
"...Some people call these NOS DACs or what I call zero DACs. The data input is the data output without any up/oversampling or other manipulation, which seems to make for a very analog presentation. [Wevelength markets them as their Transcendental DAC modules]. The reason I used this name [Transcendental] was because this technology is really an irrational approach that yields really good results. Basically Transcendental in math terms means irrational numbers..."
