Is Nuprime’s I2S compatible with other brand’s I2S format?

I2S format was used by several high end companies for digital data transfer between components but there is no industry standard. You have to compare the Nuprime I2S pins spec with other brand’s spec to ensure compatibility.

All Nuprime CD Transport I2S (IIS) Pinouts

Usually most of the pins are compatible except PIN 14. If you have to choose a non Nuprime component with I2S port, please compare every pins (pins with NC are not used). We are unable to confirm or test other brand’s I2S compatibility.

All Nuprime DAC’s I2S (IIS) Pinouts

Note: Nuprime’s DAC detects if the data is DSD or PCM, therefore it does not need Pin 14 from CD Transport. Many of the CD Transport pinouts are designed for compatibility with other non-Nuprime DACs but we are unable to confirm or test for compatibility.
