I have an I2S break out box which will allow me to get I2S from my streamer (hp mini) via USB and cd player (via spdif coax).
And its outputs are aes toslink and RJ45.
And so what I want to do is try buying one of these cheap ESS chip dac modules with obviously I2S pins (a block of 5) at one end and left and right RCAs at the other.
So I'm looking at either getting or making an ethernet break out cable.
But the standard ethernet cable has 8 wires? (and I've found a 1 ft RJ45 break out cable that has an 8 block at the other end.
But the dac module I'm looking at has a block of 5 pins or sockets on it.
I saw on the soekris thread a plan that has the 8 pin layout with the first 3 being ground but being 8 that doesn't suit either.?
Alternatively is there an I2S package I could buy with the dac module and cables together.?
Thanks in advance.
