I missed this talk at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest (RMAF) 2016. Fortunately they just put it online. It is a talk by a team of four on the design of a new Boulder 2120 DAC. It is about an hour long so you may want to speed it up to watch it in less time.
It hits on things like atomic clocks, clock fidelity, synchronous transmission versus not, resampling, selection of DAC chips, discrete versus monolithic DAC chips, software stacks, modularity, etc. It is not a super deep talk but still, highly worth a watch
