Hello guys!

I a writing for something that might have been said elsewhere. I tried byt did not find anything relevant I would be pleased if I had a brief reply.

I installed the latest filters, among which there exists the classic NOS filter. I have observed on the oscilloscope that the 10kHz and 20kHz sine waves (for 16/44.1 signal) do not appear to relate to classic NOS response. Judging from what I see on 16/44.1 signal, this module oversamples at least 4 times.

Is this true?

Is there a way to eliminate completely any oversampling process?

Thank you.

If there were a Soekris DAM F.A.Q., this question would be damn near the top of it: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/vend...magnitude-24-bit-384-khz-515.html#post4674073

DC Supply to DAM1021

Hi All,

My apology if this has been asked/answered elsewhere but I don't seen to be able to locate a definite answer so here goes:

Just got a DAM1021 board and is trying figure out the power supply to the board. This will be installed in an existing DAC so the only option available is +10VDC and -10VDC, i.e., AC not available. I planned to use two DEXA regulators to supply the DC.

Now according to the official doc the original AC inputs were passed through two diode bridges to provide the + & - DC outputs. However if the input supply GND (J1) also passes through diode as indicated by the doc then it will have a small potential difference (due to diode voltage drop) compared to the output GND. This normally won't be a problem if the source is AC but in my case the source is DC and the input GND is shared with the rest of the DAC which means when I connect the board's other GND connections (e.g., audio output) it will tie the board's GND to the input GND. This could result in a loop where current will flow because of the potential difference.

I tried measuring the input GND (J1) and the board's GND (screw hole) and it seems they are directly connected, i.e., not through a diode, so I am a bit confused here. And there appears to be only a single diode bridge (D2) near the supply input? How is the negative rail generated?

Wonder if anyone can shed some light on this? I try not to fry the board the first time powering it ...

Thanks!

That drawing is incorrect, there is only one diode bridge and you can just connect the +-10V as normal.

Update

Update，setup kits test OK.This is the third edition, the fourth edition will be the official version. The official version will use thick copper and gold-plated circuit boards. dam1021setup-v1.jpg

Hi,
I got dam1021 rev3. I need to connect two tosliks inputs.
I got one toslink connected to SPDIF 2 (Toslink). It works.
Can I somehow connect second toslink to SPDIF 1 (Coax)? or SPDIF 1 (Coax) is only dedicated to Coax?

A simple voltage divider (series resistor) from the Toslink receiver to the Coax input should do the trick....
