Re: Here's what I want

The easiest way to do this is with a squeezebox and a fairly simple external board. I have a schematic for this on the Slim Devices forum. This uses a very low jitter clock in the DAC box and feeds it into the SB3, which then sends the I2S data to the DAC where it is reclocked by the very low jitter clock. This works amazingly well.

There is a slight complication, the format in the SB3 is not really I2S, its left justified, but its quite easy to convert it to I2S to use with I2S DAC chips. If your DAC chips will take left justified then you can get rid of the conversion. No sample data is changed in any way with this technique as long as the SB is set to max gain and replay gain is turned off.

You can run slimserver on pretty much any type of computer you want (I'm doing it with a linux server).
