I guess I always assumed there was individual DAC's for each channel, but while reading a review recently on the Arcam AVP-700 I found it uses a single chip for all eight channels for D/A and A/D conversion...
According to the Outlaw web site, the 990 has discrete stereo DACs from Analog Devices:

Of course, it is more than the part itself that determines the sound of the product, but the AD parts in the 990 are a very good choice.
