The ALC3287 is a perfectly capable modern audio codec, but my experience over the past six months has been a rollercoaster defined entirely by driver implementation rather than the chip’s hardware limits.
The hardware is essentially a rebranded/derivative of the ALC711 or ALC3271 family. It supports high-definition audio, modern standby, and jack retasking well. No complaints about the DAC quality at 24-bit/192kHz.
