I believe "direct USB" means that you take power from USB without any kind of regulation. Other option is "regulated USB" for which you will use REG101UA-A, or REG102UA-A. See top of the "Parts List" page.
Also I didn't see anywhere explanation of REG101UA-A/REG102UA-A vs REG101UA-5/REG102UA-5. Text near Vout formula only says that REG101 has higher Vref than REG102. I ordered REG101UA-5 because it was first in the list. May be a little more details on IC3 selection for different power options will help others.

But at the same time, the part list tells that they are only mandatory for all configurations except Direct USB. What is right? I am planning to use the DAC always USB powered, what should I get? |
