Sending DSD Native Audio from SACD Player via I2S to Laptop via USB

[rizulhak]

Hi. I am looking for an I2S to USB convertor/ interface to send my SACD/ DSD64 (native)/ DSD 128 (native) audio signals to my laptop. Any guidance/ links?

Thanks.

Thanks voodooless.

May be I am wrong but from the description and pics of the XMOS PCB, it seems that this is for DSD playback from computer using Foobar and not for DSD input via I2S from external source other than computer. To explain further, my SACD player (Oppo 103) outputs multi-channel DSD native via HDMI. I have an HDMI to I2S converter that outputs this audio as I2S. Now, I need something to convert this I2S to USB to take it as input on my computer.

Any further guidance will be highly appreciated.

It can do both directions I don’t know about DSD recording though. That may needs some special software. Maybe you can ask them about it.

If you don’t mind me asking, what device do you use for this? This is quite non-standard.

Thanks again.

For HDMI to I2S, I use something like this that I got from ebay for around 50 bucks incl shipping. it works fine with Oppo 103 for DSD Native (DSD 64). I haven't tried PCM/ DSD higher resolutions.
