Phil, it's i2s.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2S It's a protocol for transferring PCM data, originally designed for chip to chip. It keeps the data and clock signals separate, which is why it should perform better than spdif. However, I2S really needs to be used for short connections, say 10c...

Phil, if you want to be a bit more ambitious consider hooking up the DAC to the Denon with an I2S interface - it'll sound better than spdif. A pair of twistedpear teleporters should take care of the send/receive. There's some info here; http://www.twistedpearaudio.com/forum/posts/t2300findunread-Buf...

This might be an interesting project for anyone into TDA1541 type DACs

All being well I hope to get along for the Saturday. If I do I'll bring at least one of my no-dac DACs. In case you're confused, this is DSD-only playback without using a conventional DAC chip of any sort. I'll also bring along a PC running HQPlayer so that I have some DSD to play but can also use i...

in ~1979 I was down this way on a Geography field trip with the School, so going to Swanage, Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Stair Hole, Chesil Beach etc etc...
