Drdna,
Do not even start to talk about it. The binary code is so different that it is not even funny! I have built a 3D oscilloscogram of the recordings and looking at the differences I found it insulting. There is an opinion that it should be this way as Della-Sigma ads a much of garbage that should not be there (Pacific Microsonics is a true multi-bit AD) but I do not know if it is true.
I do feel that one of the ADC (I have no idea why I called them DAC) has more “bite”, more articulation and better pronunciation of lower bass. Another one has less “technical” tone with better upper-bass and richer lower midrange – the factors that makes it harmonically “larger”. Although I personally do prefers this “anti-gipsy sound" (in term of colors) of that “larger” processor but I found that the slightly overly contrasty and overly impactful qualities of the other ADC serve very well when I deal with “tend to be compressed” FM broadcasts.
I actually keep both AD and will use one for FM recording and another for LP/Tape recordings.
