I2S mods on Squeezebox


I have read about tapping into the I2S signal and bypassing S/PDIF in SB devices. Does anyone have any experience with this? I was considering the new PS Audio PWD, which utilizes I2S inputs via HDMI connections, but I don't want to have to connect my Duet receiver via SPDIF. It would be great to have the Duet modded for I2S....?

Thanks you guys.

Ya Clorody, I am progressing. One thing has led to another. First I looked into simply modding the receiver, and then I read up on re-clocking, which lead to I2S details. PS Audio's new PWD altogether eliminates the need to use S/PDIF by utilizing a true I2S input (inputs). That effectively addresses the whole jitter issue. Before I invest in the PWD though, I want to know that I can mod the Duet with a true I2S output.
To know what you can do with the Duet, all you need is the schematic.

Actually Kal, all YOU need is a schematic. For ME, it would be completely useless! I am not that "techy." I do know what I want to achieve though, and I know the reason why I2S is the better option - especially in conjunction with PS's new PWD. I wish I knew how to achieve the results I seek. I will, if it is within my financial means, have to rely on someone else's expertise.
