Dac sound signatures

Can somebody please tell me the difference between sound signature from cirrus logic,sabre,akm,burr brown and wolson?What would be the best option to buy…and i know that the implementation is key,not the chip,but still I believe the chip matters a little atleast.

Cirrus tends to sound a bit cold to me, sabre is also more on the analytical side as well, akm chips are balanced although a bit warm, Burr Brown is warm and thick sounding, and wolfson has almost like a v shape imo. But TBH it really does depend more on implementation
