AckoDAC based on AK4499EQ

[acko]

AK has higher distortion beyond DSD256 so not sure if worth it, but anyway thank you. Have one Xing device also, bought couple of years but can the driver downloads be trusted?

 

[fedde]

Perhaps slightly off topic, but is there any update on 8 channel ES9039 PRO DAC? There is no Diyaudio thread for this yet, right?

 

[acko]

This is in the works, more time for it now that the AKM version is mostly done. Will start an new thread soon 🙂

Is there Xing with mch capability?

 

[acko]

Apparently none so far. Also not sure if Xing compatible with Linux for native dsd?

Works without problems.

Any rough timeline?

That is the wrong chip... 😉

And how is going you es9039 project?

 

[acko]

That’s the one posted earlier. Just ignore the chip id error, should have been ES9039PRO 😉

New thread here for this other DAC:

I will configure one as 2ch stereo and compare it with this AKM DAC 🙂

 

[fedde]

Yeah, interested in that comparison!

 

[acko]

Assuming of course if I get the numbers to proceed further🙂
My gut feeling, they will be about the same looking at the spec sheets and architecture of these SDM dacs

 

[acko]

Production🙂

@acko Hi, is an 8 channel version with I2S inputs possible? without analogue volume control.

 

[fedde]

Are you talking about ES9039 or AKM now? If AKM, what is cost for 6 or 8 chan?
