Penon Audio and bzfrank are correct about the Wolfson DACS: here are some pictures from TaoBao that show the insides of the completed 990.
Here is a picture of the LPFs: 2x AD8610:
I do recall Xuelin originally planning to use the PCM 1792 DAC, but in the end, they switched to the Wolfson DACs. If Xuelin is consistent with anything, it is about changing out components. It wouldn't surprise me if they come out with another version of the 990 within the next few months. They have done this with the 960 (3 versions) and the 770C (3 versions and counting).
By the way (and I don't know anything about this vendor), a vendor on Aliexpress is selling the 990 for ~US $263 for the next day; there is also a $5 coupon and free shipping... But I don't know the vendor, so beware....
