Eight ESS9038PRO DAC chips work four per channel in parallel, for PCM up to 384 kHz\/32-bit and DSD256.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is an internal module, not a standalone DAC. AVM requires professional installation by its factory service or an authorized dealer, and AVM's 2026 overview prices the module plus installation, so installation is charged separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhich AVM Models Does the S-DAC Fit?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAVM lists the S-DAC as compatible with the Ovation CS 6.3, CS 8.3, SD 6.3, SD 8.3, MP 6.3 and MP 8.3, and with the Ovation .2 series (CS, SD and MP) after a software adjustment.
