Hi all.
I am using the FiFoPi but taking out the SCK LR/DO and SD/D1.
I have had a bit of a read about the U.FL cables.
Have i got this right?
I want as short as possible, but the longer I go, the thicker I want.
as in rg178. Which should be 1.78mm right?
Are there any thoughts as to a max i could go without any negative affects?
I am thinking kind of 15cm to allow some flexibility in the build.
Am I right in thinkinng that these are right?

Did you get these adapters @SimonJ ? I would also like to get one for my DDDAC build to be able to interface it with my reclockerpi. @iancanada please advise how could I get one of these? Thanks.

Do share if you find the exact place from where we can order this part Simon. Thanks.
I use the DDDAC and have the setup as follows: USB out from Streamer, WAVEIO USB to I2S board, WaveIO to FIFOPi/ReclockPi with Accusilicon clocks and I2S in to the DDDAC mainboard.
I would like to eliminate the USB connection and go straight I2S into the FifoPi/ReclockPi. Is there a way to implement this using any of Ian's other products or by using a DDC such as Gustard U18, to which I can provide a USB in and take the I2S out from it? Is there a way to configure an HDMI cable to provide an I2S directly to the FifoPi/ReclockPi combo?
Apologies if these are very simple of basic questions but I am not able to figure this out.

So, you didnt use a ground plane? You'll excuse me for saying using a wire instead of a ground plane is a strange choice. Maybe it has one, but you backed it up with a wire for some reason?
I used the small Miro1360 board to feed the DAC from Ian's Fifo. Fifo has 3 u.fl as uses the outer of the coax as ground. There is a 4x2 header on the underside nof the small green board and the ground needs to use 4th 'port' of the header for ground to DAC. So I tried the u.fl grounds together with the wire to connect to this 4th connector
Can we have some more info on FifoPi Ma could not find much more than post by Iancanada on previous page…
Hello everyone,
I need some help as I am not able to make the Sinepi work with an external FOS-3 device.
My setup:
RPI4-->ConditionerPI-->FifoPi Q3 Ultimate-->ReclockerPI-->HDMI LVDS Transmitter MK2
I am powering the 5V on Conditioner PI and 3.3V on the FifoPI from an HDPLEX 300.
I have used successfully Accsilicons with the above config. I am trying now to replace the Accusilicons with 44.1 and 49MHz provided from the FOS3 to Sinepi.
SinePI is installed replacing the two Accusilicons, using exact same configuration for u.fl cables. I have no sound out. What I have noticed is if I turn off
the FOS-3 the relay switches continuously - this would mean that there was a lock and without there is no lock (so the clock is provided and locked with FOS-3)?
Attached the u.fl cable cable configuration used (successfully with Accusilicons and unsuccessfully with FOS-3)
FOS-3 characteristics according to the manufacturer:
I am using two of these coaxial cables from Digikey (15cm):
PART: ACX2042-ND
MFG : Amphenol RF / 245101-04-06.00
Ian mentioned at some point that "a SinePi can take both sine input and square input". Is this really the case?
Am I missing anything? Any ideas?

One other question: my SinePI came without any mounting screws and I also managed to break one pin.
Does anyone know the part numbers or type used?

I’m no expert on this but you’re using the same frequency families on both clock inputs. Maybe that’s the reason it keeps switching.
Tried 44.1 and 48 and also 88.2 and 96 - same issue. I have also played music at different rates to check (no go).
