Just to be clear, the ESS chips do not have to use the ASRC and a single rate XO for the DAC. The manufacturer can choose how they use the chip. For example, the Ayre DACs turn off the ASRC and use their own oversampling (in FPGA) and sync clock the DAC. I do the same in my DIY (Twisted Pear PCB) based ESS 9038 DAC, (I oversample in software to DSD 256, and use a single XO in the DAC, sync clocking the ESS chip-this means a single XO in the DAC, which runs both the USB interface and the DAC chip).
