Hi, the trick I don't have DAC, because I have cheap FDAs and my "drive" part is rather good & cheap because is only a USB fiber cable (Corning 3.Optical) that I power with a $20 5V power bank, and a ifi Purifier (cf. signature). All tweaks I've made in the past showed that the amps were not...

Hello Elan120, as I said briefly in the link to the FR forum, I upsample to 24/192 because my amps are digital amps (Full Digital Amplifier, FDA, based on PWM amplification), and they resample at the chip level everything they receive in 24/192. I did the test, and it works : when I send 24/192...

Hi bflat, Like you I didn't dare to mod the SU-1 by myself, so I ordered from Magna Hifi (NL) its modded version of the SU-1 (the MagnaFied version), on which I ask Magna Hifi (contact Jos to get info) to replace the 24.572MHz Crystek clock by a NewClassD Neutron Star 2. I'm currently at the...

Hi, Idea & question : what not powering the board with a power bank for smartphone (5V, so it matches the requirement of the board) ? (using the Ghentaudio part.) A simple power bank (big one, ok) will give a cleaner current than a LPS. Did someone try it ? if yes, any feedback ? My tests are...

Thanks JayNYC I go back to page 1 to learn more about it ! ;-) Rgds

Thanks a lot Golfnutz

Hello, I've seen this thread since a while, but I found the Dante devices a bit pricey and did not go that way. And I admit I didn't understand everything about Dante. The news from Arrakis, with a Dante device less pricey, with AES3 output seems interesting. Coudl you please answer these basic...

Hi bflat, I look at your signature, I see "iGalvanic" upstream your SU-1. Is it this product : https://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/nano-igalvanic3-0/ The SU-1 seems to have a good USB isolation. What's your feedback about the iGalvanic upstream the SU-1 ? worth it to pay this ifi product ...

Hi, 1st, I'd power the Recovery with a LPS instead of its wall wart PS. 2nd : I do not know your DAC, but often the USB input of DACs is less quality than spdif/i2s. Thus, I'd put a USB>spdif interface between the Recovery & the DAC (for instance the Singxer F1, or the best : SU-1) To me, the...

Hi Murphy, I add a U8 modded. The Breeze U208 was behind but close to my U8 modded. I kept my U8. If you need toslink, you can have a look at the Assembled XU208 / FUN01 : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Assembled-XU208-XMOS-USB-Audio-Digital-Interface-XLR-AES-fiber-coaxial-/112402255126 I tried it...

MediaMonkey free Ed works great with W10 then, all is about the design of the soft and if you feel ok with it, or not...

Hi, on this page => http://www.schiit.com/products/eitr we have a nice picture of the PCB. We can notice on the left part there are 3 pins where the Eitr can be powered externaly, at 5V & 3V (I guess 3V stands for 3.3V for the clocks). Has someone tried to power externaly the Eitr from these...

Hi, My pc has Win10 : no need extra driver. Just plug the U8 & Win10 will install its own x-Core USB Audio driver & will discover the U8 If, you have Win8 or previous, this driver should work : http://www.diyinhk.com/shop/driverdatasheetmanual/62-diyinhk-dxio-stereo-usb-audio-driver-v223.html Rgds

Hi Zowie1, To understand : you have the Marantz HD-DAC1, and you use a Singxer F1 ? if yes, it sounds better thru the F1 than using the USB input of the DAC ? if yes, many DDC are told to be better than the Singxer F1 : Singxer SU-1, Shiit Eitr, the Matrix, & some others I don't know, so...

This is my update Superuser1. i'm testing the Breeze XU208. I received no feedback from the Aliexpress retailer... I'm running a PC with W10, W10 found the Breeze & installed the "xCore USBAudio 2.0" driver. Nothing to do, I just left W10 to manage to new interface. First impression on the this...
