Input V2 features
Switch V2 features
The switch board allows DAM1021 input selection and volume adjustment by use of mechanical switch and potentiometer. It is not required if DAM1021 will be controlled exclusively by a microcontroller via serial port.
Muting board with alternative output buffer option.
Muting is done by shunting the unbuffered outputs to ground with normally closed relay contacts. When the relay turns on, mute is off. Since the DAM1021 pin18 muting control does not work properly as of the current firmware release, and it can be quite difficult to attach wiring directly to that pin, the mute control is implemented independently.
It should be possible to use the balanced unbuffered hardware setup for a 2-way crossover in single ended mode, although it has not been tested.
This wiki page contains documentation for the old V1.1 release of the input board.

Input V2 features
- Stacks on top of DAM1021.
- Directly connects to J3 and J2 headers on the DAC without additional cabling.
- Directly connects to Amanero USB adapter without additional cabling.
- Directly connects to DIYINHK USB interface (the non-isolated version) without additional cabling.
- Easy ribbon cable connection to WaveIO USB interface.
- Directly connects to Raspberry Pi without additional cabling.
- Additional connector PCBs can be designed to use other microcontrollers such as Arduino, BeagleBone Black, etc.
- Can be controlled using the isolated serial port.
- Serial port control from Raspberry Pi.
- Coaxial SPDIF input with BNC connector footprint.
- Optical TOSLINK input with footprints for Toshiba TORX147L and Cliff Electronics ORJ-5 receivers.
- U.FL sockets for other I2S sources (can be installed, but not used simultaneously with Amanero/DIYINHK).
- Optional U.FL sockets for Amanero MCLK OUT, I2S MCLK OUT, FPGA SLV and FPGA MCLK OUT lines.
- External connections possible to ALL pins on DAM1021 J2 and J3, and to Raspberry Pi GPIO connector.
- Two selectable I2S inputs.
- Built-in regulated power supply for the isolated digital part/muting module/USB/RPi/other microcontrollers.
- Amanero/DIYINHK USB status lines readable from Raspberry GPIO pins. WaveIO USB status lines can also be connected by manual wiring.
- Supports true balanced configuration with two DAM1021 DACs. A single input board is needed for dual-DAM balanced build.
- For true balanced configuration the second DAM1021 stacks directly on top.
- Supports serial port chaining for true balanced configuration.
- Supports separate access to each serial port for true balanced configuration.
- EMI filters on I2S lines to reduce high frequency noise pollution.
Switch V2 features
The switch board allows DAM1021 input selection and volume adjustment by use of mechanical switch and potentiometer. It is not required if DAM1021 will be controlled exclusively by a microcontroller via serial port.
- Includes a rotary switch for input selection
- Input selections are "Auto", "TOSLINK", "COAX", "I2S-1" and "I2S-2".
- Allows connecting a potentiometer for volume control.
- Footprints for front panel indicator LEDs for DAM1021 POWERLED and input selection.
- Includes ribbon cable for easy connection to the input board.
- Supports true balanced configuration with two DAM1021 DACs. A single switch board is needed for dual-DAM balanced build.
- It is an optional accessory for the input board and is not useable separately.
Muting board with alternative output buffer option.
Muting is done by shunting the unbuffered outputs to ground with normally closed relay contacts. When the relay turns on, mute is off. Since the DAM1021 pin18 muting control does not work properly as of the current firmware release, and it can be quite difficult to attach wiring directly to that pin, the mute control is implemented independently.
- Stacks directly onto DAM1021 J7 header (the unbuffered outputs).
- Fits even with the onboard XLR connectors mounted (although I do not recommend using them).
- Power-on muting uses a delay circuit which turns on the outputs approximately 8 seconds after power is applied.
- Power-off muting uses AC detection and will mute the outputs within approximately 30 ms after loss of AC power.
- Optionally these timer based circuits can be bypassed and pin18 driven control can be implemented.
- Includes PCB footprints for implementing SE to balanced output buffers using THAT1646/DRV134 chips using easy to solder through hole parts.
- Supports true balanced configuration with two DAM1021 DACs. A single muting board is needed for dual-DAM balanced build.
- Includes PCB footprints for implementing true balanced output buffers using THAT1606 chips (only available in TSSOP-16 packaging, quite fine pitched SMD parts).
- For true balanced configuration the second DAM1021 stacks directly on top.
It should be possible to use the balanced unbuffered hardware setup for a 2-way crossover in single ended mode, although it has not been tested.

Hi normundss.
In order to make analog wires as sort as possible to rear panel, maybe is better the suggested configuration. The space in red is DAM board.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Hi smanz,
Your suggestion makes sense, but it would prevent using narrower enclosures such as Galaxy 230x230 from Modushop or the narrow protruded types such as this one from Ebay. So I am going to stick with my layout.
The length of DAM1021 with the input board attached will be approximately 215mm not including the protruding connector parts.
As an alternative, it is possible to use 26 pin male header on the input board and use a short ribbon cable to DAC. Then you can mount it sideways if you prefer.
