How would one connect this to a Raspberry Pi? Would the Pi's HDMI put out I2S then? Any Idea if this also works with the current Pontus II model?
Dear Reddo84,
I am using Denafrips PONTUS II DAC with Moode Audio
You can not use the Pi's HDMI Out to I2S Input on Denafrips PONTUS as it is a different function, but you can use the Pi's USB connection though.
Should you want to use the PONTUS I2S input then you would need to use a DDC (Digital to Digital Converter)
Denafrips has Iris DDC which take USB in then convert it to I2S Out with FIFO Reclocker on board
For me, i build my own DDC using Ian Canada Board
Hope it helps
Best
