Hiface USB -> I2S 24bit/192Khz

[erwincantona]

@audiodesign : What bout DAC End. Can it be connected to ? Any modification need to do ?

ADUM1400 | Quad-Channel Digital Isolator (4/0 Channel Directionality) | Digital Isolators | Interface | Analog Devices

High data rate: dc to 90 Mbps

or the more common ISO150

Interface - Isolators - ISO150 - TI.com

used in some Burr Brown evaluation board

I think the Hiface need 480 Mbps.

480Mbps at I2S outputs for 192kHz ??

The way Ayre did it was isolate at the usb side I think its to late to do at the I2S side.

erwincantona,
DAC End use a 18bit 44KHz DAC chip so you can use a more simple USB->SPDIF like in the Cheap system 3
Cheap hi-end system

[EUVL]

Why is it too late to isolate at the I2S side ?

You can argue that you don't want the noise from the PC to go to the Hiface.
Then you only need 1 isolator at high speed (USB2).

But wouldn't you find it more important to isolate the Hiface (which operates at HF) from the DAC ?
In that case you need 4 channel lower speed, as suggested.

I take one.

wow these are flying out the door!! but absolutely would be great to find an isolator solution as GB not just because of the group buying power, but also because we have a hive-mind here all focused for the one purpose. I take it 4 x murata SMD traffos would be no good? like used for spdif isolation

480 Mbps is the specification of the bus itself, not the Hiface. Just because a road is limited to e.g. 70mph, doesn't mean you have to driver that fast!

I measured 3-4 Mbps at 24 bit 44.1KHz. I'll try to do a measurement at 192KHZ in the next few days.

I think we need someone to test one of these ....

If it's satisfactory for our purposes, we could contact the maker for a GB.
