Introducing the bit "Teleporter"

[BrianDonegan]

Another use for the Teleporter will be to connect to a digital crossover or equaliser.

I use a couple of DEQX units connected to the XONAR card configured as quadrophonic and then feed their digital output into Buffalo DACs that, in turn, feed each individual speaker driver (the DEQX allows discrete calibration of each individual driver as well as being a crossover and room eq).

Tapping into the I2S made an astounding difference. The Buffalo DAC in concert with the digital processing capabilities of the DEQX is simply astounding. Unfortunately, running I2S any real distance is extremely problematic - particularly at higher bitrates. Hopefully, the Teleporter is the answer to my prayers

Sounds like it's just what the doctor ordered...

Any news about the disponibility? Thx

What would be the maximum I2S cable length you can use between Metronome and B2/3 ?

Absolutely. This is make it practical to use PCM(I2S or otherwise) and DSD from separate components.

I have successfully tested up to 100ft.

In the Buffalo integration guide it states:

 Keep I2S cables as short as possible, for high resolution sound one should keep them at least below
4” (10cm) and of equal length.

There are no absolutes. It depends heavily on the environment (EMI, RFI, wiring, proximity to power lines, etc). Shorter is better. They can longer until they stop working or become polluted with noise.

The Teleporter uses differential transmission and I seem to remember that Russ said that it worked nicely with a 30m spool of cable

Thanks everyone for your answer, look's like I'll be needing 4 of those" Scotty beam me up" devices.

Welcome to the club

When, when, when is it going to be available ? Idea of such module changed one of my ongoing projects and now all is standing still.
Can we get the dimension of the module at least ?

Thanks

 

[pinnocchio]

Save some for me too! PLEASE...

Do

 

[merlin2069er]

Sure, me too. I want one.

 

[BrianDonegan]

There will be a whole bunch in a few weeks...

Family emergency out of the way, manufacturing beginning in earnest.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the update. Hope the family is all good!

USB Module to be released before or after Bit Teleporter?

Ciao!
Do

 

[BrianDonegan]

Thanks!

Teleporter is in final manufacturing, so it will be available as soon as that is complete.

USB needs a little bit more time to cook, but will be ready for mfg soon.

I wait your family is good.

Teleporters are for sale. They will begin shipping next week.

I'm confused, the web page says $45 for one? and $90 for a pair.
When I go to the checkoout it shows $45 for a pair?

I'd like a pair, transmitter receiver. Will paypal more $ if needed
for a pair.

Probably a momentary error. It is $90 per pair.
