Putting the beers cold already? :wink_face: :bigsmile_face:

neah .. putting the cables on cryo

Btw, I am planning to "go commercial" with this design since it surpasses all expectations I had 

yes!!! perhaps also a 'kit'?
It will be designed "as is", USB ONLY...
no i2s in???
Not sure about it's weight, it supposedly weighs about 15Kg 

meh. rather have the goods than a skinny box
 
 

 
I think if you want to build something like this yourself, it's easiest to buy the goods yourself, otherwise transport costs are way too high, and I am not planning to be some sort of components supplier 

 
NO I2S in, I use, at least what I think it is, the best USB to I2S pcb available today, built-in DAC with the shortest wires possible, it's much better than external I2S.
 
I agree, I love the weight

Hahahaha, ok 

 Good plan

btw, just put in the 10th R-Core and 11th EMI/RFI filter for XMOS/USB power, there was a little space left since I didn't need a softstart module 

 
No need for external supply for powering USB

Now with 10 R-Cores and 11 EMI/RFI filters

I do not know what have happen to my MX-U8. it just can not be recognized at all. 
 
I have checked the 5V and 3.3V supply (which is stable) and everything is normal.
 
I have reinstall the driver but the player can not be detected. 
 
can I know how to trouble further ? is it the USB connection at the board or the XMOS chip is dead on static ?

Did you restart pc after deinstalling old driver? And restart again after installing? Did you try a different USB-port?

Hi There...been watching Head-Fi for some time and learning.  Have been buying and experimenting. Your approach seems awesome. How much would an eval or one-off (your call) be?  Sorry if I missed this nuance is there a separate LPS requirement?

 

[3Marshes]

A newbie..Guys I'm struggling with my experimental set - MBP El Capitain =>Breeze DU-U8 =>Gustard DACX12 via RCA to HPhone amp works. MBP El Capitain =>Breeze DU-U8 =>Gustard DACX12 via Mogami Gold XLR on AES to HPhone amp does not work nor does via Optical.  I suspect I need to load DU-US driver.  Does anyone have an electronic copy or a download link forsaid driver?  Thanks!

 

[abartels]

3Marshes,
 
About my approach, are you pointing to MX-U8 ar to my dac? 
 
 
I didn't or do own a Breeze, please ask rb2013 for a driver on the Gustard U12 forum, ok?
 
 
Regards,
Alex
