Are These Pinouts the Same?

[Kent10]

Are these pinouts for my Gustard R26 DAC and Jay's Audio CDT3 MK3 CD Transport the same?  I have the 2 connected via a cheap HDMI cable for now and have a better I2S HDMI cable on order.  I am wondering if I need to make changes to the pinout configuration on the Jay's.

 

Thanks, Kent

If they were incompatible they wouldn't work.

Thanks Ian.  That is what I was wondering.  It does work but I am getting sound from the opposite speaker compared to my Sony CD player connected via Optical Output.  So I thought maybe the HDMI I2S pinouts might be different in some way.

They look correct to me.

Great.  Thanks!

This may be the source of your L R channel being reversed, with the LRCK (Left Right Clock) switches 5,6,7 & 8 allowing you to define the polarity of the wordclock, and similarly switches 1,2,3 & 4 defining the data polarity. But you will need to confirm the operation of the I2S data and clock switches with the manufacturer..

Thanks Bob.  Yes that is what I was wondering.  I am getting a new I2S HDMI cable in 2-3 weeks.  I'll see what that does and also contact the distributor in the US who might have some ideas.  There are switches in the Jay's so maybe I can do that.

From your diagrams, to match polarity, the dip switches should be A on and B off ie. 2,4,6,8 ON, 1,3,5,7, OFF

So that would be the opposite of what they are, if I am reading that correctly?  If they are opposite right now, what would the affects on sound be?  Thanks.

Yes that would be opposite to what they are now.. What would the sound difference be? ummm not 100% sure, but I think the channels would switch over at least. The thing is, that's what your Gustard is expecting, according to the pinout diagram you posted.. Try it and see, it won't do any damage.
