Hi, 

I am just getting started with the AIC3254 EVM and things have been straightforward so far. Now, I am looking to implement a solution on this board that requires 4 channel out and have the following questions. 

1) One way I can think of is to use I2S and DAC simultaneously for one stereo path each. Is this a valid method? Is there a better way, possibly to have entirely digital or analog 4 channel out from the EVM-K? 

2) I would like to capture the I2S audio out, and am not clear on how I can do this. From what Ive read so far, I understand that the P12/J12 and P22/J22 are the connectors containing digital interfaces. Do i need to use a samtec connector to get this data on my PC? Any light on this would be great. 

Thanks, 

Anandhi
