If the software that is going to be used can support output to multiple audio devices, you could just use 4-5 stereo dac's on one PCB, with one PSU and a USB hub to only use one USB connection (if bandwidth allows for this, but I guess it should).
That way your computer will recognize 5-6 devices (dac's +hub) but you can use them the way you want!
Even using some outputs for different audio output/multi zone (wireless headphones?)...no problem as the computer sees the different channel pairs as different devices!

we really need to know if multiple usb dac's can be used simultaneously to begin with.... this would make off the shelf very practical...
