Ask Richard Kulavik of AKM directly, he always have been very helpful. I spoke to him on several occasions at some other place.
You can find his contact info here (2nd post):

P.S. I like your software, HpW. Nice work!

They found a problem when its overloaded and its in process for a fix. No ETA yet per AKM:

"The AK5397 was just beginning to sample when an issue was discovered with modulator instability triggered by over-range input signals. The schedule for the next ES version is TBD."

Thank you for sharing.. it's still better to ship "that yellow on the egg" than a crap

OK, and hopefully he is still with AKM, while the post is from the year 2006

Thank you for the hat! Currently, I am implementing the MS Windows WASAPI Exclusive sound interface..

Also a question rises, regarding this upcoming chip:

- Whether this chip will be pin & functional & setup compatible against the previous AK5394a ...

- The expected market in therms of the real end user chip requests (ROI)...

Did I ask this question already --- what does BenchMark (newest model) use in their ADC and DAC models?

The Benchmark uses the AK5394A Benchmark ADC1 USB A/D converter | Stereophile.com . Execution similar to the EMU 1212M or 1616M, Better opamps however.

The AK5397 is not pin compatible (Its a QFN package) and has more features. It will work up to 768 KHz sample rates.
