The sonore Ultra Digital looks like a nice usb-to-i2s adapter that is configurable to support i2s on 6 different dacs. I own a Pink Faun s/pdif card and it's excellent. The Pink Faun i2s card can support many different dacs using either hdmi connection or RJ45. The card has a "sub-board" that has the actual output configuration and socket. What he does is select a customized sub-board for your particular dac that has the correct pin-configuration for the hdmi/rj45 socket (because all the dacs can have slightly different pin assignments for each wire). @melm - here's the link: https://www.pinkfaun.com/shop/bridge/69-4374-i2s-bridge.html#/194-bracket_height-120_mm_74_inch Don't be concerned about ordering a bridge from Pink Faun in "Europe". He uses good shipping companies. One thing to note about Pink Faun cards is that they have a known issue with Intel processors when running Linux. I've been told this issue does not really exist when running Windows, but I used an AMD processor motherboard when I built my last computer just to make sure. |
