I'd like to know what you are missing in the guide:Actually i also waiting for the BIII manual .
http://www.twistedpearaudio.com/doc...-Buffalo_III_DAC_Integration_Guide_V1.0.1.pdf
Pinout charts are in the appendices:Could we see a pinout chart for the connector coming from the S/PDIF input module please?
- page 30. Appendix: Pin lay-out of the external I/O connector
- page 31. Appendix: Pin lay-out of the input header
In version 1.0.1 a table is included that more closely resembles the physical lay-out of the headers.

Yes, but the guide doesn't include the pinouts of the connector on the S/PDIF input module... those connectors are coming out of the BIII.

The only connected pins are ground, VCC, and the four S/PDIF lines (A/B/C/D). If you flip the board over, you can see all the connected lines.

That was more of what I was looking for actually. I'm not planning on using the ribbon cable.
It's a ribbon. You connect it 1:1.
The ribbon is 20 pins, the BIII EXT/IO is 24 pins ?, how to connect ?
also the selector board also has 24 pins,just ingore the last 4 pins ?
Actually the manual is good ,but i still prefer something simple , like block diagram or diagram with all wire connections,similar to below link.

Thanks

The SPDIF module (20-pin header) connects to the 20-pin input header, not the EXT I/O header. EXT I/O (24-pin) is for communication with the uController.

Sorry , I refering to the The input selection switch, the package come with two
20 pin shrouded.
Please be aware that the picture of B3_SPDIF_4 in Leon manual and TP web site is with (wrong) unshrouded connector, this is not that is intended in the supplied kit, it should be shrouded connector in this position...
It actually does not matter in the least if the connector is shrouded or un-shrouded.
All that really matters is the number of pins.
I think Leon's picture is from a prototype I am sure the picture will be updated at some point.

Can you please tell me : Do you notify when our kits are shipped? I have some holiday coming up soon and am hoping it will arrive in time for this so I can get the project finished. (I ordered in the second batch)
Thanks.
Thanks.
Yes, and automated email, with tracking if applicable, goes out to your PayPal email address.
That said, I am still behind in shipments, but catching up.

Hi Russ/Brian
Can you please say some reasons for you choice of the 100Mhz clock to run ESS9018? Have you tried upper frequencies for this clock? If yes, what are your comments?
Thanks!

Simply because it works the best for the widest range of sample rates and sources. The ES9018 can't accept much faster clock. It is toward the top of the range.

I asked you this, because in the last time I intended to change that 80Mhz clock with a 100Mhz one. It was not possible for me to find in that moment a 100Mhz oscillator, but an 106,250Mhz. I had doubt that this strange frequency can work with ESS9018, but I bought it anyway, and I just replaced the old one with this 106Mhz clock. I was very surprised to see that is work very well. From 80Mhz to this 106Mhz, the increasing fidelity of the sound, is amazing!
Now I`m wonder more to know what could be in fact the highest clock frequency this DAC can support....
I just think to experiment a little more in this...

If i want only two channel output to iv stage ,which output should i connected ? there are so many outputs(on the din ,01 to 08) ,also vary confuse with the JPCM2 ,JPCM3 and the rest...of jumper😕
I had BIII and S/pdif-4 input board ,what jumper i need to take care , and what output to connect to my IV stage(two channels only) .. (i just one stereo output).
Thanks
That would be pages 17, 18 and 21.
To confirm , for stereo mode, put jumper on J1 to J12,iv stage output are 03 and 04 , if i don't use TP iv stage ,which output should i should i used ?03 or 04 ?
Understand we can select the input by using SPDIF_4 ,so all output will go to 03 or 04 ?
Thanks
When all of the jumpers are installed, all of the outputs are joined and any of them can be used. 3 and 4 (marked with dots) align with our output stages for stacking... other than that, there is nothing special about them.
