[QUOTE="user 997, post: 1070131, member: 997"] I wasn't too disappointed when I heard about the switch to ESS only to find out they are using the ES9028Q2M which lacks some of the improvements found in newer 9038 and pro generations... Bummer.. the ES9038 series has been much more pleasant to my ears than older Sabre implementations so I would have liked to see what this one could do with the latest ESS ICs, but there is probably shortages on that side as well, since everyone had to switch away from a major supplier and ESS would be likely the next best thing. There is also major production capacity constraints around for all semiconductor manufacturers, so this is probably all they could find. As far as I can tell the remaining AK4493s are kept for the Pro version and the ESS is used for the DAC FS. [/QUOTE]
