My understanding (no first hand experience though) is if your SACD transport has I2S using HDMI type of connector, it will only work with the same branded DSD capable DAC that also has I2S using HDMI ...e.g. PS Audio SACD transport to PSAudio DAC UNLESS the pinout of the I2S using HDMI is adjustable (like Denafrips). I haven’t tried it as it seems so troublesome.
I2s DSD
Hi I'd really like to know if anyone is successfully and enjoyably using either a PS Audio or dCS SACD transport into a high end DAC such as the Mola Mola. I'm not interested in hearing about CHI-FI DACs.
I am specicically interested in pure DSD across I2s which has not been converted in any way and any issues with high end DACs handling the signal.
If you can enlighten me on alternative I2s, DSD transports and servers or even possible USB to I2s converters, it would be highly appreciated. Thanking you in advance. My server is an Aurender N20.
