Mind you, while THD+N on these is top-notch, dynamic range is a bit short of SOTA - it's getting rather crowded around 120 dB these days, even in the world of USB dongles. I wouldn't mind seeing what they can do with an ES9028PRO in 8-to-2 mode or perhaps a few CS43198s. Getting around 130 dB(A) of DR might see them being able to ditch half of their analog ref level settings (keeping two like +8 and +20 dBu). Fewer relays in the signal path can only be good for long-term reliability.
