An update. Since I could not get the i2s over HdmI converter box to work with my Gustard (Have not tried to make a special cable yet) I bought and installed an i2s card from Oppomod. My version is suppose to have the x26pro unique firmware installed.
The good news is it will actually send the DSD file to the Gustard while playing SACDs on the Oppo. The Gustard shows DSD2.82Mhz like it should and play the music as it should.
The bad news is if the Oppo is not actively playing SACDs it sends a signal to the Gustard that shows DSD3.07MHz and the Gustard sends out an analog signal that maxes out my line level VU meters! No sound (at least to my ears) so it must be very high frequency? Not good!
The Oppo will also not play CDs with the i2s output to the Gustard. The Gustard shows DSD2.82Mhz and highly distorted resemblance of the music comes out of the system.
I’ve chatted with Lee (Oppomod) a few times. He does not know what the issue is. He claims several have been successful with this card and the X26pro.
At this point, I think if I had it to do all over again I probably would have just bought the DoP version of the converter box and used S/PDIF to the Gustard…Sigh
