Aqua LaScala MkII NUC question


Has anyone used Ethernet to the Aqua LaScala’s I2S connection? Did it work? Better than USB still? I know I2S protocols are different. And I know that the pin outs on the connections are different. But seems I’ve read that it may work anyway. Trying to get conformation. Thanks for your input.

   It’s a MKiii actually. I thought by the specs it was I2s or USB. But your saying AES even though it has lower resolution? Interesting 

Their own streamer the LinQ doesn't have the option of USB.  Their output options are single and dual AES, SPDIF and their proprietary RJ45 connection I2S.  With the La Voce S3 the AES was to me the clearly better sounding input and as I don't do DSD it suited me fine but it will do DSD64 via AES if you need it. 

we are an aqua dealer and got great sound using  usb from our dedicated server

 

our servers isolate the clock and usb so they send a pristine signal to the dac
