You are going far above and beyond the call of duty! I'm very curious about this additional direction. I've been watching the Twisted Pear BBB cape development thread on DIYAudio with a lot of interest too... having a good, reclocked and isolated I2S computer source with stable drivers and several opsys & SW choices will be a real boon for us computer audio-heads who want to DIY great digital sources. And I (like many others, I am sure) hope the Wandboard/CS carrier board can get back on track soon too. Watching the near-parallel development of John S's Bottlehead DAC makes me ache to get the CS carrier board for my Wandboard. It seems like you are trying to get to a stable place where you can shift resources to the driver development... true? In any case, many thanks for all you are and have been doing and all the headaches you have borne and resolved!
