I am a bit confused as to whether the ARCE basically has an Iris built into it? Is it functionally also doing the work of DDC in addition to the streaming funcionality?
I’m an EE and this seems too much work. I would buy this very set up but I don’t like Roon, what is ARCE native programs, Tidal Connect easy to plug and play with USB?
Sadly, i2s has no industry standard. Even though the Arce features 8 i2s pin out configuration mode, we can’t be sure of it’s compatible until we have the specific DAC to test in our facility.
This would be such a great streamer! But it’s not been roon ready since many many month, USB audio out is non-functional and the list goes on. Still, it’s one of the best builds for the price.
