I think it's worth a shot. Shoot @Kingwa an email.
At least for new products. Not sure if it can be done to existing product without sending it back.
Sure its possible. You can change the HDMI I2S receiver chip to do a different one like the SN65LVDS390 which will correct the default U12 HDMI I2S signals. You can also flop the wires on the current HDMI receiver chip inputs. This is analogous to open heart surgery but skilled electronic rework personnel make this look easy. Tell Kingwa you need to swap pins 1<-->3 and 7<-->9 on the HDMI receiver chip (LVDS048). He may have other ideas as well.
The Audio-GD products with a HDMI I2S interface have a cable running from I2S pcb to mainboard.
You can ask Kingwa to provide you with a custom cable, provide him with the I2S pin-outs from U12.

He just said the harness would have to be cut and it wouldn't be reliable, the solder joints may be weak, and he won't make a HDMi cable.
Yet I was asking to have a HDMi kit made custom,
They have that option... Not sure why I can't order one the way I want it.

I have an Audio-GD Reference 5.32 DAC and wanna update to a better R2R DAC. I think Master 7 is its 'superior' model, which has 8 pieces of PCM 1704 (vs. 4 in Ref. 5.32). Are there guys having experiences of hearing both them and share some ideas on their SQ difference?
Thank DACLadder and Clemmaster! It sounds the SQ improvement between Master 7 and Ref 5.32 is not very large, at least compared to their price difference.
DACLadder owns both, so his word is more accurate.
