"How can the DAC be 21 bit if the chips are 20 bit?"
It can’t. John Atkinson review of the DAC clearly states that while the analog performance is excellent, the digital performance is less than desirable especially on high signal levels (which is the majority of pop rock music).
I wouldn’t want this DAC but I understand many here do not care about measured performance as long as they like the sound.
