Yes, Pontus2 has two AES/EBU inputs and can be configured to be combined as one input. The Hermes DDC has two AES/EBU outputs. Just curious has anyone used this connection method and find it better , the same , or worse than the i2s connection.Certain brands give such proprietary solution (Chord?). Dual sockets on a DDC / DAC and support in firmware for channel aggregation. Do you have dual sockets on Pontus?
It doesn't make much sense having I2S anyway.
