The decoder itself produces 11.2896MHz on pin 1. The applied clock is probably PLL'ed or divided to create the actual clock the device is working with internally. Maybe this output is just that? The sheet says 8MHz is minimum, so it should work I guess. I'd say just give it a try!

There's just one little thing I found, on page 13. Under 'Speed control' the decoder can be specifically configured for a 16.9 or 33.8MHz crystal, could this indicate other values are not valid?

I tend to find ics work only with frequencies that are a division of each other (like 8.46, 16.9 and 33.8). But like you say it's not hard trying.

If it doesn't work with 11.28MHz straight, then I could use 33.868MHz and /2 for 16.9 and /3 for 11.28MHz.

Cheers, Lee.

Edit: And yes, that's more like it. Cake all over

Awesome! Did you pop to holland for eating lessons luchtime Lee?

I think you have the options in fig 26 in the datasheet. 33.8 or 16.9 but with different cap values etc. I did something similar to change a cd5000 but didn't really notice any difference

Ray, if you won't buy her a pink soldering iron, you should at least get her a pink cd player to modify.

What about a pink Linn Sondek CD12?

I'll get her a 'My First Marantz CD67-KI' or a 'My First ezDAC SMD Project Kit'
