For output? Yes, it depends on what you use for a supply voltage. The comparator chip is the Maxim MAX9201ESE+ (http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/MAX9201-MAX9203.pdf). In the module Vcc and Vdd are tied to the supply voltage.
You still need a way to boost the spdif signal to TTL level. The spidf switch does not disable the comparator, it disconnects the output of the comparator to D1
If TP could offer a module like Sidecar, but with an extra relay and wire to turn S/PDIF on/off on B2, then some of your B2 customers would be grateful.
I suspect there are more than a few who like me are trying to toggle between a single RBCD transport input and a USB/I2S device for hi-res.I am looking for any suggestions that might explain or lead to a remedy. Running dual mono BII. SPDIF into the first and linking D1 and Ground to the second. Everything fine up to 24 / 176 but 24 / 192 locks on the first BII not on the second fed from the D1 of the first over about 4 inches of ribbon cable. Adding an R to ground from the D1 input on the second BII and everything works. Is there a problem with loading the D1 connection? Is there a suggested value? What might be causing this behavior?
Thanks

Thanks

confusion!
Hey Mates
I'm gettin' confused here. I have a BII (stereo, just a single board) and I need to switch between two SPDIF input, I don't need DSD at the moment but it could be that I would also add it in the furure.
What's the best way to select between multiple SPDIF input? S/PDIF 4:1 MUX/Receiver Module, B3_spdif_4, changing the plug manually!?!?
The other issue is about sonic performance, can this switching potentially degrade sound? For the S/PDIF 4:1 MUX/Receiver Module I notice that incoming bits are first processed by a CS receiver. Is this better than going directly into the SABRE?
Best Wishes

Yep, I am with you on this one David.

Buffalo II is designed for a single SPDIF input or PCM/DSD input. It's as simple as that.
If you want multiple SPDIF input with Buffalo 2 you should use a MUX. I know the old one is out of stock, but the new one will be here soon.
Sidecar is *not* designed for Buffalo II, but you *could* make it work. The schematic for sidecar will be up soon.

DPDT (double pole, double throw). However, I would recommend not switching grounds.
