Jim.......I don't know who all the players are who are designing and manufacturing DACs these days, but I have read of new Burr-Brown 32 bit/192kHz DACs. Esoteric uses the new Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) top-end 32 bit/192kHz DACs. Wyred 4 Sound uses the newest ESS Sabre Reference 32 bit/192kHz DACs in their DAC2.

I don't know why McIntosh doesn't state in the literature who manufactures the DACs in their newest products. It will come to light eventually, so why not just tell us.
