FYI
DIYINHK has had a multichannel interface for a year or so (based on 16 core XU-216 512) which also can be used in stereo mode.
So, when talking about processing power (and talking about the newest XMOS chips), this is the more powerful chip from the latest generation.
Of course, there are several other chip versions, 10 - 12 - 16 and 32 cores available too.

Above PCB design is without isolation, so not interesting enough for us, it's just informative meant.
It's always the question if the more powerful devices are the better sounding ones. In this case I am not sure, it's more design related than chip related,
but that's my 2 cents...
