Don't hate me for saying this, but I really don't recommend the 4493. I know a lot of super high end gear uses these chips, but the sound is a but stuffy. It's a very tiny difference, so no big deal either way.

Next we need to find that is "stuffy" :-)

Especially considering that last chart above shoes scientific reason why it had been chosen.

ESS chips are all nice and almost perfect, except this intermodulation thingy,
