Re: PCM2706 i2s format... (John Sw?)

It made things alot clearer. Thank you very much, John.

Regarding the bit shifts, as I get it, I start out with left justified 16-bit data arriving in 32-bit frames. Two of these frames makes up the 64-bit frame for the 1704... ergo, I have in two frames from the 2706:

16 bits of data (left channel)
16 bits of zeros
16 bits of data (right channel)
16 bits of zeros

Wich I will have to shift so I get this structure for each 1704:

8 bits of 0's
16 bits of junk (to be ignored by the DAC)
16 bits of 0's
16 bits of data to be decoded
8 bits of 0's

Summed up, I find I will need to shift the right data by 8 bits, and the left by 40 bits. Is this correct?
