Is the Tandy Sensation the only 486 with the 3 Voice DAC hardware?

As pertains to stock systems, and based on the Tandy part lists and anecdotal comments from an ex-employee (Frank Durda IV), yes. You can always drop a 286/386-to-486 accelerator into one of the earlier systems, however.
It's worth mentioning that, unlike the 1000/2500-series systems with the same chip, the PSSJ output in the Sensation! is pretty heavily filtered, to the point of being almost unusable. I can record some examples, if anyone is curious.
I'd like to hear what you're talking about. Are you saying that the DAC sound compatibility (for old DOS games) of the Sensation is not as good as, say, the 1000TL2?
