    well,<br>
    if it should be on the cheap side,<br>
    and the need for usb because of a lacking pcmcia/expresscard is
    present,<br>
    there there are <br>
    logilink ua0099 available, which are offering 8ch output<br>

      <p> If it's just about having 16 channels DAC, using two C-media
        CM6206 soundcards should be enough but you might need direct
        input boxes if the amplifiers are not just beside the computer,
        I tried this chipset and it works good on a pcduino2 and Pd with
        8 channels, no glitches, it should works as well on a Raspberry
        Pi 3.  So it's possible to cluster the soundcard+pi on a network
        and have as much channels as you need.<br>
