I have been reading an article about SACD and a DAC (not mine, as I have a PS dac/pre)[https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/reviews/at-long-last-listen-to-your-physical-sacds-through-an-outboard-dac-r971/?fbclid=IwAR3Yh-b0ntRvgx6qdBaHlyUQRAF3EV5kxYG1RxyUAdX\_\_NDBlzi6yaqszAc](https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/reviews/at-long-last-listen-to-your-physical-sacds-through-an-outboard-dac-r971/?fbclid=IwAR3Yh-b0ntRvgx6qdBaHlyUQRAF3EV5kxYG1RxyUAdX__NDBlzi6yaqszAc)

Tell you what, if you buy the box and it doesn’t work, I’ll buy it from you as would be happy to use it for using in ARC mode from my TV.

Separating the CLK/Data signals is definitely the best way to listen to Digital Audio. Temporarily had to remove the S/PDIF (RCA) cable because the I2S PCB has a direct male to male HDMI adapter connecting it to the Sony Universal Player. An Optical cable is connected temporarily until I does some careful RCA 75Ω 90° Plumbing to get around the I2S PCB. The Dual HDMI o…
