Just rip the SACDs, as you say.
MCH layer is harder, sad to say, which most of my SACDs are.

Nonsense. Ripping the MCH DSD is the same procedure as ripping the stereo DSD except for ticking a different box in the setup.MCH layer is harder, sad to say, which most of my SACDs are.

Not a problem these days.Except when you can't get the hardware or it become obnoxiously expensive
The recent review of the Motu Ultralite MK5 shows it to be a good contender for XO use and at half the price of the Okto.
Pro audio has many solutions but lack some of the features home audio often desires - like a remote!
Considering that the purchase numbers for the dac8 PRO are still in the hundreds over a year after its launch I wonder if the market really is there.
That is very interesting! So just to confirm, if I have say 6 channels set up in the JRiver convolver and I attach 3 (synchronised) DACs (via a USB hub if necessary) then I could route 2 specified channels to each DAC?Any Mac can do it with a USB hub.
Yes they do, Ravenna/AES67 is an open standard and application spans from music to film and broadcasting. Look further down in the download section and you will see.

I’ll keep my Colin Wonfor amps thank you . . .I’d lobby for an 8 channel Xmos enables Axign amp. You need amps anyway, so why not skip the separate DAC. Performance should be close to or on par with state of art Class D.
Thank you for the link. It says you must set each of the devices that you want to aggregate to use the same sampling rate and bit depth. However most capable DACs will simply adapt to the input signal and I would not want to change that. If I was using say 3 identical DACs - which would all adapt to the input signal as I’ve described - would the aggregate device system work if I didn’t fix the sampling rate etc ?

This the reality.
The only serious reason I could see @JohnYang1997 enter MCH, would be a MCH interface and try to get into the pro audio market with top notch specs/performance for great price...
