...or maybe you can hold on to the decision of buying any generic a.k.a. Chinese ES9038Q2M I2S board for the time being and spend some time checking out IanCanada's wonderful offerings (designs) on DIYAUDIO.com:

Thanks CallMeMike, unfortunately I couldn't find what I need on DIYAUDIO.com.

Actually I use an Abacus Aroio DAC powered separately from the rpi by an Allo Nirvana SMPS. This setup gives me entire satisfaction but misses an headphone output. I could purchase an IQaudIO DAC Pro or an HifIBerry DAC2 Pro for this purpose but I don't want to "lose" in sound quality.
