I²S

I²S has no industry standard. If you would like to use the I²S connection, the I²S pinout matching with the DAC has to be configured correctly. Mismatch of I²S pinout may result in static/noise output. The excessive noise output level may damage the loudspeakers/headphone drivers.

Suggestion of I²S matching with the DAC
​
1. Connect the I²S cable (good quality HDMI cable <3ft/1m)
2. Turn down the volume (audible, minimal)
3. Play a familiar music (PCM first, followed by DSD)
4. Run through the I²S setting of the DAC (please check with the DAC manufacturer for more details)
5. One of the modes should match with the source for both PCM and DSD playback.
​
It's recommended to go through the Audio Tone Test to make sure the L/R channel, in phase/out of phase correctness.

Note

DENAFRIPS Hermes/Gaia DDC shipped after 25th March 2021 is equipped with I²S pinout configuration capability for I2S-A (HDMI LVDS). Please refer to the manual for more details.

Warning
Please note that the RJ45/HDMI ports of DENAFRIPS DDC are not typical network/multimedia RJ45/HDMI ports. They are purpose-built I²S ports. Please do not connect it to the typical multimedia HDMI port (i.e. Bluray player/TV etc) / Ethernet network.
