The DAC chip has major influence over the sound supported by good transport, circuit, power supply etc etc.

The manufacturers who are using Burr Brown know what they are looking for in sound reproduction and they are not stupid to plonk the chip alone. They concentrate on the transport, power supplies etc too.

Kenwood K-CD01 is the best SQ unit I have come across in that price range. And it sounds way better than Kenwood 8529 which was the top of the line unit.

Kenwood K-CD01 runs on Burr Brown 1793 DAC chips similar to HX-D2. And there is no denying because of "what" these units sound so superior from others.
