I'm connecting an Innuos Zen Mk3 streamer to a U18 and to a Gustard X-30 dac by i2s. It sounds great, but I haven't done any comparisons.
DDC Comparisons
anyone compared the Denfrips Iris 12th to the Gustard U18?
what else is out there in this price range?
I'm looking taking advantage of the better sound quality of I2S and sending my external clock signal to the DDC, which will then in turn send the clock signal to my DAC (Gustard X26 Pro) via HDMI
or maybe I should just upgrade my DAC.....

@soix The Denfrips is over $100 cheaper, but the ease of Amazon returns might make it a good possibility.... |
Something to consider is the pin out on the I2s connection. Your Gustard dac should have a pin out that matches the U18. I’m using the shortest version of the cable linked below. It’s designed specifically for I2S. You want to use a short cable. You could probably find a pin configuration that works with a Denefrips, but I'd look into it if are planning to go that route.
