I2S but only at DSD: DSD64/128(dop)?

NavnFugl

For the RPI Pro I see I2S has been included in the specifications now. But it's only capable of DSD: DSD64/128(dop)?

I was hoping it would deliver the same as the USB output, is this a mistake or something that can be fixed perhaps?

Yes, the current RPI Pro does include an I2S output, but since it is directly driven by the CM4, it is limited to DSD64 and DSD128 via DoP only.

This is a hardware limitation, so it cannot match the USB output performance .

The I2S is intended as an auxiliary output, while the main output remains USB, which supports higher DSD performance.
