I wouldn't bother with an I2S interface.
Best of luck,

How do you like the F3?
I have an F5 on home loan, and also just received (yesterday) the new J2 to audition. Still needs break-in, but sounds quite promising thus far.
cheers,

I Like my F3 very much. You are lucky to have the chance to listen to the J2 and in your own setup!
Please tell me the differences that you find between the two, in particular regarding the midrange and the HF.

Actually, anyone can listen to a J2 in their own system, pending availability of the amp from Nelson. Mark at Reno Hifi is the primary supplier for First Watt amps, and offers home trial for basically the cost of return postage (for a heavy amp, mind you, so you're still talking $50 to $75).
Straight from the Reno Hifi- site:
"First Watt J2 ALL NEW! Now Shipping. MSRP $4000 -- Special promo offers for a very limited time including 30 day in-home demo... you'll be Thrilled!"
I already had an F-5 on in-home demo when the J-2 was announced. I ordered it the next day. Mark offered a generous allowance for my Aleph 30 as trade-in credit - claims he has a waiting list of clients asking for it. The F-5 improved on the Aleph in some areas, but the top end on the F-5 was a bit too hot for my tastes. Thus far, the J2 seems an improvement over the F-5 in many ways, but esp. with 'natural' detail and ambience/decay (there's more 'there' there), but with a treble more like the Aleph 30.
For my tastes/system, it's sound great, and it's just breakin' in.

Not so easy if you live in Europe ;)

Touche'
As an American, I exercize my inalienable right to consider myself at the center of the universe. :0
You still might want to talk to Mark at Reno. It's a 32 lb package, so postage would be quite high.
