Triode, Does the Hummingboard also have pins that can be used for I2S out like the Wandboard? And does it share the clock limitations of the RPii or can it be fed external clocks to make it bit-perfect on all the common sampling rates? In a similar vein, I've been waiting to try Squeeze on Arch until I can get I2S out of the Wandboard. Is that capability and the corresponding external clock feed available in the package at this time? If so, where can I find the documentation on it as I'd like to put my Wandboard to good music-making duties. I don't have any USB DACs and don't have any plans to get one, I like the idea of I2S out solutions, especially with good external clocks fed back to the processing computer AND galvanic isolation like John is planning for the hopefully still up-coming Community Squeezebox HW and Acko's S03 adapter board. BTW, any news on that hardware, Adrian, or John, that can be shared? TIA!
