Really impressive! Does this board allow F.I.R. filtering?

Looking good ! Dimensions?

I don't think it's a matter of the board, it's probably more of a question about ADAU170 at Engineer Zone:

Thanks for the link. The journey begins I think.

I'm looking for something that I can use that has both quality and versatility.

The idea of working with passive loudspeaker filters is pretty much a non starter over here. All my design work in the past six years has been active only.

There is a similar board described in Article #6 at Audiodevelopers.com. The picture shows an early prototype--got new boards on their way. The article isn't complete, but I'll document the build for the new boards and post the results. Article 12 describes the software.

Nice board

10cmX10cm.

Is the board called AWDSP?
Can it be considered as a "next generation" freeDSP?
Can we buy a board - either fully populated, or just the SMDs done, or ..?

 

[zdr]

"Next generation" is a bit exaggerated. It's a freedsp with audio widget on board and additional dac. I can sell some with smd ICs or fully populated, PM me.

Pretty keen to give this a try, has anyone one compared noise floor to minidsp?
A friend came over for a listen today, he has really top end gear so I was keen to get his impressions of my latest incarnation...
One area of concern for him was the noise floor, thinking about it it's probably the minidsp, right? So how does the freedsp rate in this area?

Cheers

I'd hazard a guess that that somewhat depends on parts used etc. It's hard for anyone, I think, to give a proper answer as one is a completed product and the the other a DIY product where the person building it to a degree decides how the end result will turn out.

wima caps replacement ..

Hello,

I saw FreeDSP wima caps replacement information on ...

https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/dig...-4-digital-crossover-board-9.html#post4285896

Please help me to understand proper schematic ..

2 WIMA caps in parallel --> to one 1uF in series with 18K resistor or ??

Can someone draw which components ( 2 wima caps + resistors or only they .. ) can be replaced by one 1uF in series with 18K resistor ??

What means "per channel, or use 2 in parallel." ? ...

Best regards,

Emil

NEW BOARD + CAPACITORS

Hello everyone!

I would like to buy my first DSP card, the FreeDSP Classic SMD B, but I am undecided because I also found this card similar but very complete and well done, in my opinion

AudioDSP - development board with DSP SigmaDSP ADAU1701 processor - Kamami

What do you think? Can you advise me?

Then in order to avoid the 47mF polarized capacitors in series on the inputs and outputs on this card can I put the 1mf WIMA? How can i do to replace the polarized capacitors?

Thanks in advance for your advice

strange mute circuit.not sure if that works as intended. best to use a specialmute transistor, with the base weakly biased to a neg rail.to mute saturate the npn from a 3.3V rail using a pfet. generate a neg rail using a sw c charge pump using a clk like a LRCK or bclk from a serial DSP port, as it is only neg bias no curretn need to be delivered

Hi basreflex-San,


Well, this is my original mute circuit. I never seen like this before.
I know it looks unusual, but it works as I expected.

So I inted to use this one for priventing form digital noises.

Hi basreflex-San,
My original muting circuit almost works, but it was not perfect in the point of view of Audio design. Muting release action was not enough for audiophile use. Therefore I need to add negative power supply as you mentioned before. The actual test result was shown in following URL ...

Thanks for your suggesting,

Cyberpit-san
the neg rail can be simply done using a LRCK or BCK toggling at C35

the mute is done using a special mute transistor that can tolerate a high neg VBE, such that the CB diode does not add distortion. DSC2501, the collector is connected to the signal to be muted.

to mute pull the MUTE line high using a pfet out of 3.3V, when off the MUTE line is pulled to the neg rail by the 47k resistor. the neg rail can bias many mute transistors

Negative Biased!

Hi basreflex-San,


Now I attached Charge-Pump card on my board. The result was very fine. I could know the ADAU1701 has a good enough embedded audio ADC/DAC performances (I changed my measuring USB-Audo I/F from 16bit to 24bit) 48kHz. Using LRCK is suitable for this purpose, BCLK was too fast to drive with single-ended FET. Next version board design will integrate this part.
