#20C. TransportPi AES, Flagship AES/SPDIF stransport

Introduction
TransportPi AES is a dedicated AES/EBU S/PDIF transport interface board. Compared with all other solutions, it is the first one that uses discrete 50Mbps 1-bit differential driver and dedicated femtosecond clock drivers to achieve the highest signal quality and lowest noise levels for both AES/EBU and S/PDIF outputs. And it also integrates the well-reputed multi-stages 1-bit discrete secondary re-clockers (similar to a ReClockPi) to ensure the best possible low-jitter performance. TransportPi AES is so far the flagship AES/EBU and S/PDIF transport interface board for audiophiles to improve the sound quality of an external DAC to a highest possible level.
TransportPi AES works in SYNC clock mode so it will need a FifoPiMa, FifoPiQ7 or Q3 to operate.
