Comparison of 2 DACs

I will list some features of two different DACs that may be of interest for their SQ.  I will let people know which two DACs are 'compared' later on, so please don't reveal the brands or models if you think you know.

 

This is the sort of thing an ordinary or somewhat clued-in consumer might do in order to narrow choices for a (subsequent) listen test.

 

See if you think one feature is better than the other for SQ...

 

Let's start with the Clock:

DAC #1 has a femto clock system.

DAC #2 advertises that it has circuitry that analyzes the digital input for both jitter and center frequency, then routes the signal to one of several "clock systems" that will regenerate the signal in the most optimal manner.

 

Don’t think one feature is better than other. I mainly narrow down choices based on comments of impressions of how products sound.
