Objectively, what I've read so far suggest R2R DACs may not measure as well as their Delta-Sigma counterparts. (Do correct me if I'm wrong)

If so, is there any sense to consider R2R DAC from an objectivisit standpoint?

Even if they measure better, aren't the Delta-Sigma at such a high level that any performance above them would be inaudible?

Hmmm... None of the listed advantages of the R2R DACs are true in general and IME.

Thank you all for the input and sharing. I think I'll shelf my R2R idea for now.
