RE: comparing I2S vs. AES3 with Gustard U12+X12

Hi !
thanks a lot for confirming the AES/EBU as a very valuable option.
I have a low end system. However the best sound I have been able to get from my pc until now has been with

Gustard U12 > Canare AES/EBU cable > Apogee Rosetta 200

Lack of noise, dimension, detail were quite ok and with little fatigue.

Speaking of HDMI for I2S, it is a pity that a better connector has not been used.
I think that a premium quality rj45 for instance would be a much better option.
Moreover it would be very nice that all the manufacturers agree on a same pin-out, as I understand it is not the case.
I will stick with the AES/EBU from now on.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
bg
