What are the advantages of VIA compared to

https://www.xmos.com/products/develo...kits/usbaudio2

Available also as chip only from Digikey.
Seems to do similar things.....

One major difference is that the XMOS seems to have only one I2S output, while the VIA chip has eight out and eight in. It's also got MIDI interfaces.

Haven't seen that yet, look VERY interesting, and much more DIY friendly.... I like parts that Digikey carry :-)

I seems to be able to do everything, if you have the right software for it. So the question is software, how much source can you get.... And what about the Windows drivers, just say contact them. Which I will do....

Sorry, anything I do here, at least for now, will be a side project, so don't expect anything quickly from me.... Maybe somebody with more time will move faster :-)

Soren,

> just say contact them. Which I will do....

Hiface USB -> I2S 24bit/192Khz

Andrea has done that already. You may contact him for details.
If you wish to go xmos, please join force with us.
Together we'll make more progress.

Don't follow that group buy thread.... But I'll contact xmos directly anyway, often help when you have a company behind, which I have. And I like to get info directly from the source if possible....

I like to share ideas and info and sometimes the finished design. But if I do any actual design I will do it on my own, are not really a collaborate guy....

So, we gave up ? I am not technically able to contribute too much, but this is a good thread, let's keep it alive.

Thanks,

Personally I say wait it out, there will be a lot of product in 6 months to a year to chose from. I don't think now is the time to buy/invest in a USB-I2S implementation, nothing really meats the 3 requirements excpet the Ayre implementation and its just a mater of tim till the chinese copy it.

I agree with the waiting.
I don't agree with Ayre (which does 96kHz only).

It is too early. A lot more solution will appear in a year or so.
And we need more affordable software.
