I don't care for high bitrate as I am doubtful of the source material and about psychoacoustics but each to their own.
Your potential product is about market niche. Offering it with a proper USB interface should broaden the niche. I still doubt the 9039 is a superior product at anything but 1 kHz performance for which it seems to have been optimized.

More details in the support information for those who purchase this DACCare to elaborate? The bit rate of 384k/32 8-channels is 98.304MHz.
Archimago measured distortion vs level, and it looks better than 9038, probably due to better math in new HyperstreamI don't care for high bitrate as I am doubtful of the source material and about psychoacoustics but each to their own.

Maybe I didn’t explain this clearly but this will be a general purpose DAC module that takes a wide range of inputs, support various audio formats, clocks, bit rate etc. So it is as broad as it can be - not targeting a niche market. Of course can be suppled bundled with USB and connected up to DAC if you like.I don't care for high bitrate as I am doubtful of the source material and about psychoacoustics but each to their own.

I for one will configure mine for dual mono instead with direct network streaming eventually- no USB😉
Count me in for one 8 ch kit. Will torture )) you later on with questions to marry it with mchstreamer and Ian McFifo.

I have these as well and checked compatibility, ok. So, yours will be supplied with matching adapters, cables as needed at no extra costs this time🙂Count me in for one 8 ch kit. Will torture )) you later on with questions to marry it with mchstreamer and Ian McFifo.
My mistake, he showed difference for 9018 and 9038, no Hyper Stream IV measuredArchimago measured distortion vs level, and it looks better than 9038, probably due to better math in new Hyperstream
He has measured ES9039Q2M, but not ES9039PRO.no Hyper Stream IV measured

Clearly shows the improvement over ES9038Q2M.

Planning to use x4 modules in dual Mono config to create a ‘Frankenstein’ DAC😆
Anyone fancy 32chnls?
5 more needed before proceeding further… thanks 🙏

It is for two channel stereo but each channel requires two channels for bi-amping. One DAC for each channel.
Fast transient types to supply the chip digital core. Will be included on the board close to the chip so all taken care of 🙂
