The first spec at the moment is: - Aune So helpful. Any word on the model of DAC chip? Assuming no change from the usual used in their previous models. By their, I mean: - Aune I suppose more info will trickle out by the drop date in mid-December.

j.t.xHello! My guess is that it could be balanced version of their X1S Pro DAC, which has ES9038Q2M inside

j.t.xASR has published measurements that show the classic "ESS Hump" in the intermodulation distortion, so confirmed ESS, though no mention of the specific chip. None of the other mentions of this seem to specify the chip either. I'd wager @NkN4334 is correct though

doubleJay& @NkN4334 Looks like it is indeed the ES9038, if this press kit image shared on Head-Fi is accurate.
