I am looking to upgrade my USB DAC to something that sounds much better. After reading everything I can find on 8 channel DAC's it seems like the only options under $1000 are the Motu series, I'm looking at the Ultralite AVB as it works on linux. Other than that I have found the site diyinhk.com while browsing these forums and they have a new model:
https://www.diyinhk.com/shop/audio-...c.html#/fifo_option-null/dac-xmos_and_dac_pcb
This one looks almost ideal but I can find very little information on that site and even less info on their diy DACs. Has anyone ever made a kit from them? What are your thought on their ES9038 kit from looking at their site? It looks like a pretty easy solder job besides the chip itself, I have no idea how to solder those tiny pins on the ESS chip.
Am I missing any other options in this price range?
