Coax to I2S

Hello all,

My DAC recommends the I2S as the preferred input for best performance. I see some DDCs in the 4-$500 range that convert USB to I2S and do some re clocking/cleaning of the signal etc. I am really wanting to try the I2S but I am only seeing units in the 1.6-1.8k range that will convert Coax to I2S. Are there cheaper options out there for this? At that price I would almost consider getting an upgrade of my cd transport to a better one with I2S if there is nothing more reasonable out there for a convertor.

 

Thanks all

You very well may be correct that there would be no to minimal difference. Interested in trying it as there has been many accounts of the I2S input being a noticeable improvement. If I could find a reasonably priced solution. 

 

Not interested in streaming at the moment.
