Found this from a google search.

Has anyone had any experience with this DAC ? Seems reasonably priced for a chip solution that claims to be the penultimate DAC.

Highlights
# Four-layer circuit board optimized for mixed signals
# Based on the ESS Sabre32 Reference (ES9018) DAC chip
# Four DACs per channel ("Stereo Quad Balanced" mode) or eight DACs per channel for full dual-mono use.
# High-precision, ultra-low-phase noise clock and integrated reclocking
# Three on-board digital supplies are easily bypassable for customization
# Dual series shunt voltage regulator module for AVcc supply
# Direct DSD, I2S and S/PDIF inputs supporting up to 32-bit/192kHz
# Stereo balanced outputs can be used in current-output or voltage-output mode (depends on output stage used)
# All connections by direct or optional (included) terminal blocks
# I2C header for remote uC interfacing, such as the Volumite digital volume control
