Extra bit of info. The CD player seems to work OK in isolation, but when I turn on the DAC, it gives the error.
The DAC shouldn't affect the CD players performance at all if you are just tapping off those I2S signals.
Some possible issues:
- One (or more) of the I2S outputs is being shorted.
- There is some sort of noise / interference being introduced through improper grounding
You really need an oscilloscope to see what is going on.
I have a 960 here and the 'Enterprise' DAC but haven't bothered to hook the 960 I2S up yet.
Let me know if you can't get it going as I might be able to do some investigation, however have
a lot on atm.
PS where are you located?
cheers
