Hi.

A comment to the Audiophonics Sabre 9028 DAC.

Audiophonics offers a custom standalone driver. 

It's done the same way as it is done now with the Katana DAC.

They have a MCU onboard that's being controlled by the driver and that
MCU controls the Sabre chip.

Audiophonics doesn't have the skills, the interest or business case to
get the driver integrated into the kernel.

I actually integrated the driver into the kernel for myself and offered
them a patch. 
They were not interested! Fair enough.

Bottom line. Before buying a potentially quality DAC always have a look
at the driver situation!

If you're happy with the Sabre HW mode, that DAC obviously works with
this or that standard I2S driver.

Allo shows how it's done professionally. The Katana driver is fully
integrated and available in the RPI kernel 
since weeks. Long before the DAC is even launched.

Enjoy.
