The Absolute Sound issue #267 has an ad on page 25 for the Oppo Sonica DAC due this fall. The DAC uses the ES038PRO 32-bit DAC chip and has many other features.  Control is via the Sonia App for iOS and Android.   The projected list price is $799.  Please see this link:

Does anyone have any additional information?

Thanks drewportland!

Seems that the new ES9038 chip has justified itself.
Have you ever tried it with TV (opt out) as a source?

mofi - congrats!  Please post your impressions here when you have a chance.  I have blown my 2017 hifi budget already, so this is a 2018 purchase at the earliest for me. 


Without getting into a flame war, I need the gapless playback abaility.  That's just my personal preference.  My Squeezebox Touch does gapless with no issues.  I borrowed my mom's car for a while and the CD changer in it wasn't gapless.  It drove me nuts.  Hopefully, by the time I can afford the Sonica DAC, it will do gapless playback.
