Just saw that the new Geshelli Labs J2 dac should be up for sale by the end of the month and it will feature the ESS 9026PRO chip. I was curious about this choice as it seems like if you wanted an ESS dac (for whatever reason) you could get into an entry level version with the 9038Q2M chip (Khadas Tone Board, Topping d10s, Soncoz LA-QXD1 etc.) or spend a bit to much more and get one using the 9038PRO chip that is usually offered in a package with more features. Looking forward to seeing how the new J2 will measure-up and why they decided to go with the 9026PRO chip.
