Wacky,

I have a well modded Northstar 192 transport and dac combo running I2S connection. My goal was to add computer audio capabilty via I2S. A search for USB+I2S pointed to the Teralink on ebay for short $$'s. It has reasonably good sound out of the box over SPDIF, but the Northstar has always sounded better via I2S connection.

The pinouts are a mismatch, but with that corrected - still no go. I get a weak signal lock at the dac, but no sound. It could be voltage (as you suggest) or sample rate mismatch - the Northstar combo upsamples to 192 in the transport section when I2S connection is used. The dac may be looking for 192 at input.

Thanks again for the helpful info. I'll keep searching the forums.
