Has any inexpensive Asian DAC manufacturer harnessed the ESS Sabre ES9038PRO Chip?

Just checked out the new Musical Paradise DAC you mentioned.
Equipped the way I'd prefer it comes to $1500 .... BUT IMO it very well may be a contender that will hold its own with the best DACs out there. Thanks for the heads up.

But Ess 9038 pro chip is very difficult to work with, so I don't think the Chinese have the expertise to be able to implement it properly, one of the best decks that's made in the US is using it wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac, and the reviews on it have been phenomenal look it up it's not cheap though it's 4,500 US, but it beats up on decks that are four and five and even more times expensive.

Are you living on another planet? Every year about 10 times the number of engineers graduate in China than do in the US!

As for the Wyred 4 Sound DAC you speak of, it is a joke at $4500 compared to my $1500 LKS MH-DA004. Based on very similar operating principles the LKS has 2 ESS 9038pro chips, each running in mono and at a temperature yielding better performance, at least twice the power supply, an entirely discrete analog section, an Amanaro USB to I2S board, three femtoclocks, and more. It has been favorably compared to many hyper-expensive units.
