I don't have the DDDAC 1794 but I have built a NOS 1794 myself so I know what they sound like. Doede's design is a reasonbly decent implementation, but CSP1 should be quite a bit better. I was a long time NOS advocate because it does ssound better to me, BUT the aliases still exist and it sounds even better if you get rid of them. The secret I have found is to throw away the digital filters in the DAC chips (because they don't sound good, I've gone over details of this in other posts) and replace them with digital filters that DO sound good and get rid of the aliases. The result is much better sound than either NOS or builtin digital filter. For CSP1 we are doing the digital filter in software (built in to Squeezelite). So you COULD use CSOS with the DDAC 1794 and do the upsampling in CSOS. But I think that the implementation in CSP1 is going to be superior to what is in DDDAC 1794, so overall I think it is going to sound better. (but of course I'm going to say that!)
