Confirming whether your DAC is asynchronous as claimed or not. - Page 3

I don't think 7022 can do async at all. tenor's new 8000 something one can (some dacs with the new chip have an adaptive vs async switch)

@k not async either (not surprising), judging by the supported sample rates it's a te7022l as well. (88.2k missing)

Yep, te7022l alright.

What intrigues me, though, is this line under the first "Audio Control Input Terminal Descriptor:" section:

 

"wTerminalType:      0x0605 (S/PDIF interface)"

 

I thought the ODAC didn't apply SPDIF between the USB receiver and the Dac but I2S instead... I may not be reading this right, I lack the know how to fully interpret this data...

 

svyr, do you know of a software which can track power draw from USB ports in real time under Windows or Linux?

The ODAC supposedly employs Adaptive mode synchronization, by the way.

But I don't know if "0x01" value relates to this...

Yes it's a Tenor T7022L in the ODAC.

 

What is the point the having an adaptive - asynchronous switch if the later is purely better? :P

I can't exactly remember the differences between class 1 and 2 USB audio devices and how async comes into it, but basically: I think the adaptive mode switch doesn't require additional drivers ever. Whereas either certain sample rates/bit depths for class 2 usb audio devices [definitely for windows] or async endpoints (I guess a lot of companies advertised the driver-less async from the TI chip back in the day, so yea] do. Note, class 2.0 usb audio device is not so much to with USB 2 smily_headphones1.gif

Judging by the te7022l diagram on the previous page (pdf from the mfg), it has both spdif in and out. The output of the app says 'Audio Control Input Terminal Descriptor:' so it's not the interface between USB and DAC smily_headphones1.gif (at least afaik)

I didn't think there was a sensor per se (or at least not pollable). I think there's a fault sensor when the device draws too much current and the port is reset by the OS [or by the firmware of the hub of whatever). I might be wrong. [devices also clearly have static field for max power consumption as well, since it's reported on enumerating things attached to ports)
