so, to double check everything that i've read in these 2 posts:

1) all i need (parts-wise) to put together a working converter is the pcm4222evm from ti ($150) and the power supply kit (regulated correctly) and transformer kit from five fish ($80 total). i'll then need to assemble the power supply and solder the supply wires to the pcm4222evm, but that's about it (aside from putting them in a box), correct?
2) i'm not 100% clear on how the spdif out works. when working at 44.1/48khz, do both spdif outputs spit out the signal in stereo? does only one of the jacks work? does one jack put out left and one right?

initially i'll be using this with my rack of 7th circle pres and, if everything goes well, i'll invest in another pair of the five fish pres. either way, you can't beat a $250 a/d converter.
