black crow is an i2s to eiaj convertor. it buffers data, bclk and ws lines but ignores mclk line.

if you want to play from pc, you still need a usb to i2s solution. from there you could use black crow to convert to eiaj and then feed tda1545.

Ideally I think the black crow is sitting directly at the USB connector of the PC. Agree??

I’ve made a TDA1543 Dac with the Rudolf Broertjes IVoutput stage. Feed it I2S from the QA550 Waveplayer and there you go.
Far out the best i’ve heard till now.

Isolation and low DPC latency is the key to good USB performance. It’s also worth mentioning that I recently tried USB 3.0 and this seems to be a little better than the USB 2.0 ports.

Best PC solution ? PCI-E to I2S ?
