Hi,
I have a couple of XMOS USB based DAC's that have given up the ghost.
I'll focus on the the ifi micro idsd bl as it's the nicest (the other one is a minidsp u-dac8). The issue with the ifi is definitely the XMOS USB daughtercard because SPDIF works fine.
So here's the DIY Q, how easy is it to fix the ifi with a DIYINHK or MCHStreamer USB to I2S card?
Let's assume it's I2S and I have figured out the pins and made a connection "bridge".
So its more to do with the XMOS firmware, the ifi does PCM 32/768, DSD512 and double speed DXD, I'm assuming multiple I2S channels, maybe four and not sure if the DSD just uses I2S as well?
Say I was "happy" with 32/384 and no DSD, would a "stock" firmware work?
I can solder but I'm no programmer and so I'm just assessing how feasible this is.
Thanks
