just checked the schematic of the 701. The 701 used two DACs. One for
each channel. It does not use a delay on one OP amp. Both OP amp
feedback resistors are 15k, paralleled by a 75pF cap. This likely
contributes to the difference in sound quality noted by many listeners
(including me).

Thanks, Trevor W, for that cogent
explanation, and for not cowing to
the sudden dip in S/N ratio in this
thread.
