Part of the reason is that many of the GPIO pin functions are assigned by the software, therefore it depends on both Hat and software.
You may have already found this: https://pinout.xyz/# which gives most of the pin functions.

Here's another link that covers the pinout for all the peripheral connectors

And one for a specific DAC Hat:
https://pinout.xyz/pinout/pi_dac#
and this one which is probably more helpful
http://www.dimdim.gr/2014/12/the-rasberry-pi-audio-out-through-i2s/
I note that all these apply to RPi B+, 2 & 3. The P5 pins are specific to the RPi 1 and B, ie non + versions with only 26 GPIO pins.
Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

A bit more digging turned this up for P1 and P5 on earlier boards:
Raspberry Pi Header Pins: Mbed CODEC board:
P1-03 —– SDIN (i2c data)
P1-05 —– SCLK (i2c clock)
P5-02 —– 3.3V
P5-03 —– BCLK (bit clock in)
P5-04 —– LRCIN (frame sync clock in)
P5-06 —– DIN (i2s data in)
P5-08 —– GND
Just listen, if it sounds good to you, enjoy it.

Thank you for the above replies. This specifically caught my attention...

So if I was designing my own SPDIF HAT I would need to be careful regarding the I2S signals, because until the software instructs the Pi to make these I2S pins, then I assume they're some other IO level (0 or 1), which might be static or fluctuating for some other unknown purpose?

It would therefore be good to find some combination of logic levels which only exists when I2S is set by the software to gate the lines through to the I2S to SPDIF converter (HAT).

Otherwise the converter should be quite simply a WM8804 and peripheral circuitry.

The Pi B and Wolfson Audio Card are now playing files copied over from the NAS drive to the Pi, via SPDIF out into the Madge. Not bad.

Thanks here go mainly to John C for his Linux knowledge (and my son Ryan doing a 14 mile round trip to get a USB keyboard).

We now have to figure out how to pull in files from the Slee office network to the LXMusic player.

If successful we then need to control all this remotely from one of the desktops or laptops, and I think there is some software out there which may enable us to do so.

The intention here is to make a Madge-top device which patches into a network and receives a playlist from a computer on the network.

Also on the wishlist is to be able to plug a mem-stick into the (imaginary) Madge-top and then command it to play from a computer on the network.

Pi in the sky maybe?

(don't know what was stopping this happening when tried before...Confused)

You'll probably need to set the network location of your files as a mount.
I had to do something similar when I set my Pi up with piCorePlayer.
