RE: I have looked around in vain for I2S on PCI cards
Posted by Dawnrazor on August 25, 2011 at 00:25:38:
Hi Ole,
Forgive me for being confusing. Let me explain.
I was thinking i2s. I probably have this wrong but I remember charles Hansen talking about the phillips sony guys needing to do some measurments or such and the i2s protocol was born...it was not envisioned as a connection between boxes IIRC.
I thought that all cdps had this connection internally to the dac chip. I took your post to mean that this was better than spdif and that to me at least made sense that a short connection to the dac chip would be better than a long cable connection. I had thought that by default a soundcard using its own dacs would have an i2s connection of sorts. Is that not right?
Though I think you took my post to mean external connection from a soundcard to an external dac. There was once a card that did that but the links are dead and this is the best I could find:
