[QUOTE="croak, post: 19592, member: 361"] WRT to AES/EBU not found on some mid end product. Not too sure if licenses apply but they could. I think it has more to do with the other products those companies offer. If they offer a DAC, then it makes sense to offer a digital output that would max its potential, if the company does not, then why prep your client to buy outside your brand? Another big big reason: true AES/EBU codec does not embed SCMS, (serial copy management system) so those companies with consumer audio CDR products and or an interest in the "music software" industry may not be to keen on the codec. I2S is a valid underdog method (another philips thing btw) I think first seen as a box to box interface on Audio Alchemy in 91 or so. There are of course also the clock slave links as pioneered by the likes of Pink Triangle, Deltec (DPA) and Arcam and now adopted by Wadia as well that use the DAC clock as the master for the transport. Tentlabs offer retrofit kits for this approach as well. [/QUOTE]
