@iancanada Hi Ian; I have another question...I would like to connect the TRANSFORMER I/V PCB Kit V2 to the Dual Mono ES9038Q2M DAC HAT, with these cables I2S 2.54mm Silver Plated 15cm, can I also solder them on top of the board ?

Update

At the moment I have simply bridged the pins with the cables, is that OK?
For the cinch outputs, do i have to solder 3x ground when i solder a cable without the socket?
@Aiello

You can solder the wires to the PCB without a problem. Please just make sure all wires will be soldered to the correct pads.
Bridge is also OK. More ground wires would be better. At least each transformer has independent GND.

thanks for your help 🙂

I will not solder the bridge and leave it plugged in, that will be easier....that with the ground, does that refer to the cinch ?, so the 3 ground connection is better do you mean per channel?
 
@Aiello

You can install a UcConditioner 3.3V on top of the LifePO4Mini3.3V, output to input, to improve the performance more. They were designed working that way.

BTW, I could shipped wrong accessories to Audiophonics, so if you need the correct FFC connector, please just send an email to me, I'll ship it to you.

hehe it's ok, i ordered a new kit, i won't get poorer and you won't get richer from it 😉
can I use the FIFOPIMA V1.5+ReClockPi and the Dual Mono ES9038Q2M DAC HAT with one LifePo4 Mini 3.3 V and UcConditioner 3.3V combination?
 
Actually, you will need four 3.3V
1 for FifoPi clean side
3 for ES9038Q2M DM DAC
But they can share one good 3.3V if you want.
ah then i am reassured 🙂 i will maybe build rev3 with more Fifopi 🙂
ok 🙂 and on the stationpipro board i only need 2x 5 volts,

the raspi and the conditionerPi board get the 5v via the stationpipro only ?
so i don't need any cables on the raspi and no cable on the conditionerPi board?
i'd rather ask again before i put tension on it 🙂
 
Good morning to all
🙂


I’ve made some progress with my streamer project and have now finished the side panels with copper. There is also an air inlet and outlet grille on the side. The upper cover is made of acrylic glass, which I lacquered at the edge, and the inner life is engraved on the pane
🙂


The cable at the back is only a temporary solution until I have finished the back wall…

Have fun, and whoever likes it can leave a like or a subscription, I would be very happy
🙂


Have a good start into the day…
