Key is to keep Juli@'s digital section that way we keep the excellent ASIO drivers

Juli@'s ASIO drivers remains the best I've seen to date.

New analogue board plugs onto this using I2S interface which I assume will support 24 bit DACs only (a deal breaker for 32 bit DACs). Alfred uses this interface for the Buffalo / Sabre DAC. Alfred: can you confirm 32 interface?

I'm not religious about 24 or 32 bit: important factors are SNR and the ability to bypass internal reconstruction filter. My AA Prestige SE uses the PCM1792 DAC which is excellent. Both AKM and ESS Sabre are excellent 32 bit DACs and yes the Sabre would be a brilliant choice (even better than 1794) given that we can disable its filter and includes IV stage & PS refinements.

So lets go with the Sabre and add RCA outs as well.

Will look into Peter Daniels' work as well. DIY thread is a great start (PS - my loyalties lie with AA).
