It appears that Cypress altered the data format used internally in the CLUX in the latest firmware release. I am trying to determine what format it is but whatever it is is not compatible with the options available on either the 3x/4x transceiver board or on my 3x digital output board which used different S/PDIF transmitter chips.
That's a real downer. And there was I worrying that my unit wouldn't have the latest firmware eek

Good luck, but I think you may have more luck figuring out the 1.8c format.

It should be very suitable as it has Burr Brown DACs. Unfortunately, the unit is �150/$300 more expensive than the CLUX, though this might be offset if you happen to need an HDMI switcher. We've discussed this device in another thread (search for "Octava" in 2008) and I've had conversations with Joe Fernand about "design for modification" if you get my drift. The conversations didn't come to that much, but I'm pretty sure that it will be easily modifiable.
