"ESI Gigaport HD+" This DAC has 8 channels and is 24/96 capable (if using 2 channels) but under 7.1, it is limited at 16/44. https://www.esi-audio.com/products/gigaporthd+/
As I understand it, there is no specific Linux driver for this DAC as there is one in Windows. Due to a lack of a linux driver, the DAC is always set to 8 channels so limited to 16/44. Hence, any FLAC above red book CD, like 24/96 for instance, are rendered at 16/44 which is frustrating for the HiFi community as folks that rely on this DAC do it for its exceptional acoustic quality and could not care less for the other 6 channels if it means downsampling.
