hello Hotzman
I´m in the progress of making a dual BIII into single Legato 3 like yourself
will also use 4 s/pdif selector via Sidecar to BIII
will use 2x Placid HD for dac´s and single Placid HD BP for Legato
will have main source from async usb to I2S device
do you have an overview picture of your layout?
schematic or drawing?

Hi Russ,
The placid HD power supply ,why R2 is optional ? also how to measure the resitance of VR2 , measure before solder ?
Thanks

This is the wrong thread for such a question, but I am happy to answer.
VR2 is a rheostat (pot connected as a variable resistor)
R2 is where you would put an equivalent value resistor to replace the rheostat. You only use one or the other, not both.
You can measure the currently adjusted value of VR2 by placing your ohmmeter probes at the R2 pads while the circuit is powered down.
Cheers!

I've tried looking around, but can't find a pinout of the connector on the S/PDIF switch. Where do I connect 5.25V, what is ground, etc?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Read the integration guide. 🙂
The SPDIF-4 board is powered via the IDC cable from the B3.
Ahhh, there was the problem! I was using an older version of the integration guide. Thank you!
I've searched for an answer to my Q's though this forum and elsewhere so sorry if this has been asked before.
Can I connect both the SPDIF Transceiver Module & the USB DAC/Receiver to the Buffalo III without the need for an additional MUX?
Secondly, which would be a better connection out of 10m of RG59 terminated with RCA's carrying S/PDIF from an M-Audio soundcard, or 10m of USB cable consisting of 2 x 5M lengths with active signal repeaters?

so there´s no way to implement a switching device (ala 2 sidecars) to get 2 I2S inputs?

We are looking at doing an I2S mux, but right now there is none. Still you could DIY one without too much hassle.
Good! I can wait, even though patience is not my middle name!
I want to be able to switch between 2 I2S and 1 DSD (Denon-tapped SACD), besides the toslink and the s/pdif inputs
I´ve kept one of your previous 24/192 toslink modules; are they TTL lvl as well?

First, you do not need the SPDIF Tranceiver module, simply use a single SPDIF level shifter (available in the Buffalo page). The set the USB module for SPDIF out and connect the the buffalo. It can handle up to 8spdif inputs (switching for up to foue is available in the currwnt firmware).
Ah true! For some reason I was thinking he had a BII not a BIII. Coffee has not kicked in yet. 🙂
This I don't understand. Could you provide a link for the 'single S/PDIF level shifter'?
+Thanks for the answers Russ.
