- Careful now, they're just as likely to be the SAME as different.

- That aside, any kind of DA convertor can be made to function well.
- Some are harder to make work at a given price than others,
- some easier. The quality of the engineering of any specific
- implementation is much more important than ANY "method" claim.
- The "method" flak is looking for something to say that sounds
- impressive. It does convey some information, one hopes,
- on the method used, but little if anything on how well
- that method has been applied.

- It seems that almost any engineering principle can be abused,
- especially in the audio market.
