DAC with ESS Sabre chip, volume, XLR+RCA simult.

Are there any DACs out there which use dual mono ESS Sabre chips, have a volume control (digital) and are able to drive XLR and RCA outputs used simultaneously?

I have a setup with 3 amps per channel - two of which are used for subs.So I need two outputs simultaneously.

Thanks everbody :)
I'm very grateful for your answers. I actually already own BIII and all the other parts for making such a DAC. But my electronics guy can never get a time to make it :(
So I started thinking about buying finished one...

Too bad XMOS and Exasound don't have a dual mono version.
I can't believe XMOS is only 480 $

Yes, it is brilliant little device. Are you sure it supports -simultaneously - XLR and RCA outputs?
What about digital volume control?

Thank you everybody for your responses. In the meantime, I have built a DAC based on dual Buffallo IIIs from Twisted Pear.
I have had a lot of help from my friend Siniša, and also a lot (A LOT!) of help from mr. Robert from Netherlands. He programmed Arduino controller, my friend Siniša built everything from there.
The DAC is amazing, realistic and holographic.
The sound is very neutral, but on the neutral and detailed side, not on the warm-smooth-rich side of neutral
