Hi Kevin,
I've checked out the website but can't find anything about a DAE replacement. I'm not surprised, no one but Digi could write a new DAE unless they had access to restricted information and/or cracked code.
I did notice the DAG 24 bit Optimized Mixer though. Has anyone tried this plugin? For that matter does anyone know anything about the company? I'm a bit apprehensive about adding anything to my setup that I'm not 100% sure about.
