I2S-e Mode 1
It's I2S modified to work over a longer distance with the DAC controlling the transport. In Mode 2, the transport controls the DAC. I don't think anyone ever used Mode 1: Sonic Frontiers said they tested both methods in the preliminary stages of designing their SFT-1/SFD-1 combo and couldn't hear a difference, so they designed for Mode 2. The Assemblage DAC 3.0/3.1 models also used Mode 2.
