Accuphase DG-78 is coming very soon, in July, quite expensive, though.

Their English page is not yet ready, but Japanese page is available now;

One of the recent web articles introducing DG-78;
https://www.phileweb.com/sp/news/audio/202606/17/27780.html
"The A/D converter uses Asahi Kasei Electronics' 32-bit "AK5578EN" for four-circuit parallel driving, supporting a maximum sampling frequency of 352.8kHz/32bit.
The D/A converter uses ESS Technology's 32-bit "ES9028PRO" with 8 parallel circuits driving and adopting the "MDS++ method," which improves the I-V conversion circuit operation of the MDS system and delivers higher performance. It supports a sampling frequency of 384kHz/23bit."

Accuphase declared these are the "guaranteed features/specifications";

I've been intrigued by Accuphase's DSP offerings. Surely it's not as powerful/useful as a miniDSP, but costs much more? Nice looking device, though

Did they really fail to include separate subwoofer outputs and set up the corresponding high-pass and low-pass filter options?
That would likely cut the potential buyer base by 50% these days.
