It's the bells and whistles that accompany them that make the difference. Choosing where you want to run the setting is personal choice. I have run the new OPPO DAC as well with the 9038 Pro and didn't think it's performance was near as good as the DAC1V2. Even with a supposedly "better chip". Again, we all hear differently. Good luck!

Thanks for your posts regarding comparisons of our DAC to others, even products using the 'better' chip. This is what we try to convey as best we can, that off-the-shelf parts do account for certain things, but it's the design and engineering of the overall product that can make a profound difference for the end result!
