Connect I2S to I-Sabre ES9038Q2M

[mikeDIYaudio]

Hi,

The Audiophonics I-SABRE ES9038Q2M DAC has a lot of connectivity - but has anyone connected an I2S output to the DAC ?

I'm thinking of buying the CS8416 Source Selector Module (2 SPDIF Inputs to 1 I2S Output), but the I2S output from the CS8416 [SCLK/SDATA/LRCK/MCLK] doesn't seem to match the ES9038Q2M inputs. Should I buy a different SPDIF source selector module ? I want to connect my CD player to the DAC. There doesn't seem to be a way to connect RCA output from the CD player to the DAC, but there are a couple of SPDIF to I2S modules, and my CD player has an optical SPDIF output.

Thanks

Hi,

You already have an SPDIF input on this board you only need to add a connector and a push button to switch from I2S to SPDIF ex :

Hi David,

I saw the SPDIF connection on the DAC, but don't know how to connect the optical TOSLINK cable from the CD player. Do you sell the kit I'd need ?

Thanks

Thanks,

I was looking at DIY kit which is probably why I didn't spot this when searching your shop.

And it's simple enough for me
