Using I2S With the Denafrips Terminator and Metrum Ambre?

Hello All,

I recently got the Metrum Ambre to connect via I2S to my Denafrips Terminator Dac. I tried both ethernet type I2S inputs, even trying the mode button with no luck. Has anyone out there have the same situation and gotten the two to play nice together? Maybe the cable has to be modified.  I tried reaching out to Metrum and no response after 4 days.

thanks  alvin! I started looking into it more. It looks like if I use the I2S "C" input and swap 3 wires, it will match the ambre. I just ordered an ethernet breakout board from amazon to test. if it works I will have a custom 12" cable made.

Anyone know who would make a custom RJ45 Ethernet cable for I2S for a reasonable price?

@alvin1118 What are some options to stream from a computer to a DT using the I2S input?

I have the Ambre working with the terminator. Using a breakout board, I tested it and worked like a charm, then I made a cable and it also worked fine. If anyone wants the pin swaps I will post next week as I'm on vacation and dont remember the exact pin swaps.

That's good news! Do you hear differences between i2s and other digital interfaces?

@yyzsantabarbara , for computer USB to digital converter, you may like to consider Singxer SU1/SU6. There are other make as well, like Gustard, Matrix Audio, HydraZ.

Hope it helps!
