Suggestion of I²S Matching with the source, i.e. DDC/Transport/Streamer
1. Connect the i2s cable
2. Turn down the volume (minimal)
3. Play a familiar music (PCM first, followed by DSD)
4. Run through the i2s setting of the DAC, 000-111
5. One of the modes should match with the source for both PCM and DSD playback.
It's recommended to go through the Audio Tone Test to make sure the L/R channel, in phase/out of phase correctness.
Yours Sincerely,
