@@hear-net-au So many new DACs even ChFi 400usd ones offer I2S inputs , it would be great to take full advantage of it with a CD transport without spending a fortune
@@kdomster9141 but I2S is not something that makes the sound great. It's merely SPIDIF split into its components. It makes very little difference at short distances and at low frequency of 1.5MHz which data transfer format is being used. Some offer better noise immunity, some higher transfer rate, but for listening to red book CDs in a regular home setup, they're all much the same
what a beauty
I2S output ?
No, it only had one SPIDIF output... Not even Toslink
@@hear-net-au would it be complicated to add I2S to a transport in a way that it will offer better digital performance to a DAC that is I2S ready ?
@@kdomster9141 if the signals are there easily accessible, it is relatively easy
