DIR9001 board to TDA1541A - help

Hi Sandm0n:

Have a look at attached pics. Maybe you are missing the digital ground connection or the jumpers are not configured as it should to get I2S output.

Mine is working nicely. I also have a board with WM8805 but, with TDA1541A in NOS mode, I tend to prefer the sound of DIR9001.

Have fun with your project!

DIR9001 is a 96K output, but TDA1541 may not have sufficient speed. You need a NOS motherboard to work.
It seems that it has been done successfuly by the OP, I connected the DIR9001 board directly to the TDA1541A by lifting one side of the ressistors from the board and connected the I2S signals to the ressistors (blue marks in the attached photo).

Thank you, I'll double check and report.
BTW in my DIR9001 board there are no SCK jumpers like in yours, I think my board is fixed on 256fs, what is configured in yours?
