Has anyone tried the i2s interface on the new iFi NEO Stream with the Directstream DAC? I am interested in using it to get access to the DSD 256 capability via the i2s interface.
I looked at this a week or so ago. I don’t see DIP switches on the unit. Did you look in the manual?
No, they do not have any dip switches but they publish the pin out and I have compared it but there are a few naming differences or slight inconsistencies that someone with a little more familiarity with the interface would need to verify if its just nomenclature differences.
For reference here is ifi’s i2s pin out.
