I missed this the first time i read this thread. When you say "grabbing the bits" - can you explain exactly how? The DAC interface is not i2s, but left justified. It's the same thing but shifted right by one bit. In i2s the MSB comes one slot before the LRCK transition, but in left-justified it is immediately after. So if you are reading the bus as i2s then it will be -6dB. One tool which you may find helpful is the built-in full-scale sine wave test. Press "3" on the splash screen to activate. I have probably at one time or another used "i2s" as shorthand to describe the internal bus - sorry about that! -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26002 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
