Hello guys,
I have recently been playing around with a Wondom JAB5 (adau1701 based dsp with 4x"100W" amplifier). This jurney have made me fall deeply in love with sigma studio. It makes working with my fusion amps feel like a joke.. really wished hypex would let us talk to and program the Adau1450 directly.. maan that would be awesome...
However, the Jab5 board and as far as the WWW tells me all other Wondom products have a rediciulesly high noise floor. I have used it to build a pair of pc speakers, and even at moderate listening levels the noise is still audible.
I really really wished there was a decent quality product for maybe double the price that just had the DSP and 8 outputs ready to be connected to amps, but i cant seem to find any.
The best i could find was the Ali/ebay baords discussed in this thread:
https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/low-cost-adau1452-china-board.309680/page-24#post-7781475
But having read that thread from start to end, i dont feel thats worth the hassel, simply to bad quality products...
Im leaning more and more towards the official AD eval board:
https://www.digikey.dk/da/products/detail/analog-devices-inc/EVAL-ADAU1452REVBZ/9809249
But the price of that board is almost the same as a full Fusion amp...
Is there really nothing in between china trash and top of the line AD board?
FreeDSP Aurora cauhgt my eye. However, i have no experience in pcb manufacturing via PCB-way and so on so it seems like a daunting process, and i have no clue what the final cost would be...
Has anyone here built the Aurora DSP within the last couple of years?
Is it still worth the effort?
Is it cheaper or more expensive than the AD eval board?
Can it be partially build to only have the DSP functionality without the usb stuff to save cost?
Really hoping for some feedback from someon with FreeDSP experience... Thanks in advance!!
