Will it also do DSD256 based on a 48khz base? Bringing it up to 12.28mhz?

I haven't tried 48k multiples. I know they work with the old exaU2I interface, so it shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully they can be enabled with a driver update.

I am sorry, I am not explaining this well. The old exaU2I is smaller and it uses the small mini USB commentator. The PCB of the new exaU2I (under development) has twice the surface of the old one, and it uses the classic large USB connector that audiophiles like to use.

All exaSound DACs are using a mini USB connector.

Thanks for the clarification. It was a little confusing.

Exa2ui its one thing and e20 is another. I kinda thought that that eventually the exa2ui v2 would find its way inside the e20. That is why I got confused. I was expecting to see the bigger conector. Also, I seem to have read on a review somewhere exactly this, that it would use the bigger usb port and also that outputs would not be inverted. Dont know if the pictures on the website are of the older unit or if this continues on the new mkII. Regardless, you are offering a unique product at a very competitive price that have been gathering great reviews everywhere and I congratulate you for your efforts.

On another note: On the computer audiophile website there is a thread discussing miltichannel DSD using three stereo dacs with a USB hub through a custom ASIO driver. Do you thing we could see something like this with the e20?
