DDC With I2S in and Out
I don’t want to give up on the Gaia when it can still be used for two sources. I’m sure the Laiv device is not in the same class, but I still want to run the new source through some kind of reclocker/galvanic isolator, so I’m willing to try the La... 
DDC With I2S in and Out
  What I’m trying to achieve--- I have two sources, one coax/spdif out, the other AES out, both into the Gaia/Aether combo, then I2S into the DAC. I have a new, third source with I2S out. Hence the need to juggle all these outputs into a single I... 
DDC With I2S in and Out
@sns  @car123  Well said, and I’m in agreement on the Gaia quality. I also run the Aether clock into my unit. I only wish I could run the I2S out from a SACD player into the Gaia. I emailed Denafrips support with this request to have it added to ...

For Those Who Are Unaware of The Cable Company
@krelldog  Their pricing is in line with other sellers, at least on cables. They offer discounts on some brands with the Frequent Flyer program. Maybe you have examples. They're in the selling space, not the buying. There are other places for that.
