Hi Octavia
We will be offering soon the Volt+ with stepped attenuator or normal pots with wires...you can place wherever you want.
Life's unfair.
Yeap unfair and expected
In test though, one expects it (fairness). Simply because maths are not skewed
Otherwise they lose some meaning, at least for people that understand. (and on those forums we deal with a big chunk that do)
@cdsgames
Would you consider making reclocker with spdif input and I2S out? Some sort of device suitable for chromecast audio?
Such combo would have great usability plus great sound
Yes but no timeframe.
Diyinhk ES9038PRO dac. It works with I2S. But is there any incompatibilbility isuue with RuneAduio powered Cubietruck? The question is because adverticed as Kali works with RPI like boards.

It can work both:
- asynchronous mode. No need for MLCK input. es9038 is supplied with 80/100Mhz clock usually from where all audio frequencies are generated.
- synchronous mode. Does not have its own 80/100MHzclock. Takes MLCK from I2S like 44/48Mhz in your example.
You can disable onboard clock. However with onboard clock disabled the spdif will not work. In such case dac will only work with I2S with MLCK included.

I'm not interested in spdif. The question rather related to wether Kali is compatible with Cubieboard+Runeaudio, as it was targeted primarily for RPI like devices. Just want to be sure there is no incompatibility issue.
My understanding is that Allo Kali is generic I2S reclocker with RPI Hat footprint. This means that it fits RPI nicely, however it can work as generic I2S reclocker with any device feeding it with I2S (no MLCK needed). Just you will need to wire it properly with e.g.: Cubieboard.
I found a few subjective pro and cons listening reviews of Kali.
But is there any objective meassurement, like phase noise graph available?
The design lacks the isolator to separate a clean side after the FPGA, and noise of the SBC and the FPGA will be propagated to the DAC. So I'm a bit sceptic wether it has a really excellent output.
I know an isolator can be added before the Kali board, but it is not exactly the same as a more clever design.
