This new chip is getting rave reviews so I thought I would give it a whirl.

Just ordered some pcb's so I should have one up & running in a couple of weeks.

I will report back with more info & photos once I get the first one built.

It is quite exciting as it looks like it will handle DSD in hardware mode which is the way I will be running it.

🤞🙏

Well it was definitely quite challenging hand soldering the new ESS chip

Getting too old for this 🤪

They do make lots of multi channel chips but this particular one is only two channels.

If this one works out well I may investigate a multi channel version.

Well after a little tech support help from ESS the prototype is up & running.

Sounds very good too & handles PCM up to 768K and DSD 64

Next step is to do some critical listening comparisons with the AKM and TDA Kompakt's.
