Dear Joko:
I would rather see you use I2S than SPDIF done in an "irresponsible manner".

A thousand thanks. That comforts me and reasures me :angel:

Abusing of your kindness...errr...would it be any "must read" paper referring I2S transmision that you can point me to?
In order to save me many hours of google search, that is :angel:

Kind regards.

Moin Mauricio,

try this:

From memory: max. length for i2s is 20cm. Correct me, if i´m wrong.

For the rest (or most?) of us....spdif AND usb is the way to go. You can use your PC and "cheap" CD-Playa. No need or hazzle to dig in an old playa-model, trying to find a way to squeeze i2s out of it. So Doedde´s concept is right.
For some of us, there is the need to improve this concept. CDM-pro is prohibitive expensive and digging in ~20year old Playa´s isn´t that attractive (for me!). YEMV

Nope, don't have anywhere to point you, but...........

If I was going to run I2S from my CDP, I would look at LVDS. National makes several TX/RX chips that should work. If you can't find the info there, I may have propaganda sheet from them with the right P/Ns.

Yes, USB is probably the future. Especially for commerical efforts. This is DIY. Doing it the hard way can be more fun.

Hopefully better sounding, and more educational.
