Denafrips Ares 15th i2s to SACD Transport or Jay's Audio CD Transport Mk2

Anyone connecting their components via i2s to the Denafrips Ares 15th? What setting do you use? I can’t justify another DS Mk2 DAC and I’m a little curious about this R2R sound if I’m being honest. This is for my bedroom/bathroom area and I’m planning on hooking up my back up audio stuff (aka stuff I can’t get myself to sell).

You shouldn’t have to change anything. I ran a Termninator & DirectStream MK1 DAC via I2S a few years ago and had no issues.

Thanks @JWLaudio

I can confirm the i2s works with the Ares 15th out of the box.

It will. Same as when I did it with the Terminator 4 years ago.

Cheers,
Joe

When I read “Terminator 4” the phrase “I’ll be back” showed up in my brain.
