Options for high quality i2s recording?

There is the DIYinHK multichannel interface that is supposed to have recording capability. This is really affordable and probably a very high quality option.
2 concerns are the lack of ESD protection in the DIYinHk interfaces some people have mentioned, I have had 2 diyinhk i2s interfaces and they both stopped working eventually, a cheap amanero interface has outlived both... it's unacceptable.
The other concern is compatibility in software, will it be detected as an input device , will it actually send an input. Diyinhk documentation is nonexistent, there are no first hand reports on using this interface for recording either.

The other option is miniDSP, but i dont think its a very high quality option looking at the boards, its far more than just an i2s recorder at that price so it's not a surprise.

Even disregarding price, are there no other options at DIYinHK level of quality?
