OK, let me stamp on this *NOW*. This is not just directed at you bakker,
so please don't take personally.....

USB is plug and play. RCA jacks, analogue out is plug and play. I2S is
not plug and play.

If you don't know the what and why, you're setting yourself up for a
whole lot of pain. 

IMHO, (and this is directed at you specifically), you should head where
you were heading. Get that Curryman DAC, (which IIRC correctly is ES9023
with async clock and buffer output), get it working with a USB to I2S
interface. Put it in a nice case. Use at least a linear reg power
supply. At some point later on, down the road, you can look at feeding
it directly with I2S. Maybe put a TP teleporter sender in the WB plastic
case, add a receiver to your standalone DAC, link them with a hdmi
cable.

There are bodies buried all over the place. With the BeagleboneBlack.
(Which is fresh in my mind as it is sitting in front of me right now.)
Easy 2.54mm headers, but the BBB has a crap "standard" clock and can
only do 48k multiples. The Cubietruck requires SMT soldering. The WB
requires SMT soldering.

I'm going to draw the line on the software side. Is the software able to
provide an I2S output. 16, 24, and 32 bit I2S output. Tick. Line in the
sand. Zero support from that point onwards. You want to interface with
this XXXX DAC. Good luck with that. ;)

I could rattle off a list of DAC chips I've already interfaced via I2S
to one of these ARM devices. Since we just touched on the Curryman DAC,
I could start telling you that I've used ES9023 in async with external
osc, and sync, 4 wire with MCLK from board, but there is absolutely zero
chance of me documenting it. I'm hopeful that there will be a couple of
people, with the software side of things sorted, who have the knowledge
and experience, to provide a HOWTO with this specific DAC board and ARM
board. Something that people with lesser experience can follow and end
up with a working solution. But again, not going to be me. My priority
is going to be the CS hardware as soon as the F20 images are out there.
