Imagine trying to judge how something will taste by its list of ingredients. Sure, blueberry jam's always going to taste like blueberries, but that's about as far as you can take it. There's everything from whatever is trapped in those little plastic tubs at a hotel to homemade delight.
The same rings true for audio equipment. How many different sounding DACs are ESS based? Amplifiers featuring Hypex or ICE modules are many; each has its own secret sauce and sound quite different.
You can probably get a sense of flavor and direction from the datasheet.
You'll actually need to listen to know how it tastes.
