Regarding IIS pinouts. According to the picture you attached, when the PCM audio is playing, use IIS definition type B on element S to send the audio to your Gustard; but when DSD audio is playing, IIS pinout type C seems match the Gustard. (Please note, this is a speculation based on the pinouts diagram. Matrix Audio uses a high level on pin #15 to indicate DSD while a low level on this pin to indicate PCM, Gustard says mode 0 for PCM and mode 1 for DSD, I don't know if they matches)
The element S is a pure digital transport, it doesn't do MQA unfold. If you are playing a MQA track, the element S will output the original audio data through the USB port or digital audio ports (optical, coaxial, AES/EBU and IIS-LVDS) If your DAC support MQA full unfold through the port you are using, you'll get MQA contents fully unfold. It's depends on your DAC.
