No,
You should get an USB blaster like this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/326...exp_id=8f28ce4e-f11d-49da-b73f-c33bbea94f80-6
Oh, many thanks Jan. I will order it right away.

Sorry for my ignorance, I didn't read the manual carefully so I thought the process is just with Altera/Quartus similar to DI-20. I have only Altera blaster and need to get the Xilink one first.
Is this the one I need? (Alinx AL201 Intel/Altera FPGA USB Blaster, not PANGOMICRO) / The ebay link on manual has already expired.

We just went through Xilinx programming on this R7 thread just one or two months ago. You may want to review that as Xilinx programming s/w is not as smooth operating or reliable as Altera.
Has any one had a chance to try the new R27HE? As I understand it is a combination of R8 DAC and HE9 amp with regenerative power supply and all the recent improvements to the USB chain. How does it sound in general? Is it comparable to the original R27 or is it a level above it due to the new power supply design? Is there an option to hook an external clock to the device as in case of R8 EC?
I currently own a R28 2020 and consider an upgrade so for me it is either to go for another combo or go separate with R8 EC and HE9.. Generally speaking I quite like the sound of R28 in terms of tonality .. I definitely don't want anything warmer, just more resolution, separation and soundstage.. The sound I like has to be crisp but organic and holographic.. Some of it I have achieved using Roon + HQPlayer with oversampling to PCM 384, but I feel it can be much better than what I currently have.. especially if I eventually hook up an external clock, as suggested by more experienced fellow audiophiles..
Any input is highly appreci
The dc blocker is only useful useful if you have a dc offset, you should measure it first. I use the Zerozone only with the clock, streamer and di20he.I am very grateful to everyone for the large number of tips that have helped me a lot! Now I'm working on a dedicated line, and I was thinking about acquiring Holton DC Blocker One R4. I have a question, will this really have an effect when used to power an amplifier, and won't it limit the current and dynamics? I will have two dedicated lines, one for the amplifier where I plan the Holton DC Blocker One R4, and the other for everything else where there will be a Zero-Zone SPO-500
on the advice @FredA (https://aliexpress.ru/item/33004402...t.0.0.4ff81b45yua61X&sku_id=12000024865405181). And whether the Holton DC Blocker One R4 model was chosen correctly, because there are different options on the Hilton website...
I get what you mean @FredA, but do we not always have a little dc offset on our mains power? How much dc offset would you say our most sensitive audio devices can handle without adversely affecting audio?The dc blocker is only useful useful if you have a dc offset, you should measure it first. I use the Zerozone only with the clock, streamer and di20he.
What is a PiCoreNAA node? I am using piCorePlayers since many years now and I'm using LMS nightly Builds on my NAS'es . Now piCorePlayer v8.1.0 and LMS on 8.3.0 (latest). I have never heard of PiCoreNAA. Please explain. ThanksPiCoreNAA node
Yes, please. I am curious to learn about it. I PM You. ThanksHello,
to be able to use HQPLAYER with LMS, you’ll need to install the UPnP/DLNAbridge plugin and configure it for pass through to have a bit perfect streaming to the HQPLAYER main upsampling node.
Then you have either the possibility to go out straight to your DAC via USB or via network to à last node called NAA if you desire (just a last mile FIFO streamer).
HQPLAYER-NAA emmbedded image exists only for x86-64, amd-64 and arm-64, but the latter limited to the PI4 architecture.
However the USBridge is based on the PI3 architecture (CM3+ module) and therefore will not install the HQPLAYER-NAA emmbedded image.
I could find a lovely guy who has reused the PiCorePlayer 8.1 on which he has added the NAA code (latest 4.2) as an in-memory module, while stopping the SqueezePlay process, letting a light NAA node which runs perfectly on the Allo USBridge.
i can send the link to the package if you are interested…
