Kind forumers
Can I use I2C connections (17) to get info about samplig rate from Buffalo III without removing IC8?
I've given a look at Hifiduino site and since I'm not interested in any external control on the DAC (volume, iir, bandwith, etc.), I don't want to program a different controller for the Sabre 32.
I'm going to use a PIC microcontroller for controlling a lcd display, I would use the dpll calculation method explained in the codes found on Hifiduino.
In other words if I used a "polite" I2C protocol will IC8 be so kind as to reply the value of dpll? Angel
I thank you in advance for any suggestion.
Andrea

You can never have two I2C masters active on the same bus.

Multiple masters is only possible with "smart" I2C devices: they need bus busy detection and arbitration logic. See: http://www.i2c-bus.org/MultiMaster/
When you are attaching a PIC microcontroller anyway, it's best to remove the firmware and set everything yourself.

True.

As Leon said, those "smart" masters work by never having more than one active (driving the bus) at the same time.
