Tried the card on my P233, and bad news, the ESS just isn't getting detected at all.

Just to say I've fired off an email to the team, and I'm currently working with Keropi on getting my card back up and going, fingers crossed 🤞

1) Same filter as stock ESS cards.
2)This is solved here
3) No SPDIF I/O unfortunately. We decided to keep this out due to cost. But there will be an I2S interface on expansion 😀

Hi, I'm your customer who wants to purchase your great item and I have a question.
What does 'expansion' mean? Is it requires PCMIDI Addon?

there is no i2s interface, this was an idea that did not work out in the end
