Not true. Listen to a DAC with an ESS Sabre chip and one with a Burr-Brown chip on the same cans and tell me they sound the same. They don't. I've A/B tested a DAC with an ESS Sabre and a hip-dac with a Burr-Brown, and the difference is recognizable.

sabre have the same measured bump over and over. I have no familiarity with burr browns, but as long as the 2 are not the same I can 100% believe that
