AUDIOPHONICS DIGIPI+I2S Digital Interface

Does anyone have any experience with this interface?
I am thinking not only of the technical aspects but also of the sound quality.
Is it a good solution? The price is attractive, comparing for example IanCanada devices.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

есть опыт с похожим устройством от алиэкспресс. Работает стабильно,звук по всем выходам качество не страдает.

I have experience with a similar device from Aliexpress. It works stably, the sound quality does not suffer on all outputs.

I am using one of these audio hats, exactly the same one so I can try i2s thru hdmi to my SMSL DO400 DAC/HPA. Everything works fine and sounds great…up until 192kHz FLAC and DSD files. I have tested DSD and high-bitrate FLAC thru USB on a Pi 3, 4 and 5 with no issues [tho I should say, the Pi 5 plays these files the best].

I am wondering if something can be done as the hat is advertised to be able to serve DSD512.

May I ask…what case or enclosure as you using for your build?

Могу ли я спросить…какой корпус или корпус вы используете для своей сборки?

The case is ordered and made on a 3D printer.
корпус заказан и изготовлен на 3д принтере.

Are you able to get i2s from the hdmi out from the hat? or you only use optical?

I ask as I can not get sound or for it to play 192khz and DSD out from it…

Да можно! Важно соблюдать правильно коммутацию в кабеле HDMI при подаче на внешний ЦАП. Я использую тип А.

Thank you for the pictures. Yes, I get signal and sound from the i2s HDMI to my DAC thru option “A” as well. My issue is that the sound is limited to 96kHz…anything above that, like 192kHz and DSD, there’s no sound.
