Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Yeah, that is a good input receiver

Don't think anyone has marketed a better one for audio. It had a built-in secondary PLL circuit for a much lower jitter filter cutoff frequency than the standard devices used in almost all other DACs, which have no jitter attenuation in the audio band.

You could always wire in one of the aftermarket anti-jitter receivers, but most of them aren't very good and you'd have to know your way around a digital circuit. Could always pull the AES21 and "dead bug" wire a CS8412/14 in its place. Big step down in quality, but would get you back up and running. And you could add in a secondary PLL circuit, but again, to be effective requires knowledge and attention to the details. Or convert it over to USB input and go the PC route which has some jitter problems on most implementations, but much of it with a different spectrum. Don't remember if the PMD100 digital filter had I2S input capability or not. Probably does, just need to change the voltage level on a couple pins, add a little USB (or S/PDIF) board from one of the many DIY providers around now.

Anyway, lots of possibilities, but probably not many people to do it for you :-)
