Hi, gusser,

You mentioned in your posts that you were involved in design/installation
of recording studio.
Which DAC/ADC chips you were using? Top 32bit like ESS Sabre, AKM4399 or
something more common like Wolfson?

Not strictly recording studios but TV mastering facilities with audio sweetening facilities. Same audio equipment as recording studios though.

IMO, the best ADC/DAC chips today are the AKM. Wolfson is also very good.

  Hi, gusser,
  
  Did you constructed DAC/ADC schematics/PCBs yourself, or used off-the shelf available (if any)? AKM have reference schematic, but there are no USB in.
  
  Additionally, there seem to be various driver issues when working through i2s.

    In facility construction as with most businesses we don't re-invent the wheel. If a high quality DAC is needed, we just buy one already made. When we need something we can't get off the shelf, or have a quantity needed that makes in-house fabrication economically feasible, then we may build it.
    
    Oh one more trick and I can say this because I hid behind a moniker. Say we want some new DACS. That's a capital expense that could take a year to budget if it's approved at all. "What's wrong with the old DACS?" But we do have a maintenance and repair budget. Nobody questions buying parts. So we get to build a project our way from the repair parts budget. Again it still has to make some sense to embark on a project like that - authorized or not.
