I got a rev 4 and ordered some polymer caps today. So, to confirm. Danny_66 showed how to easily place them on the 3,3V Vout, on J9. https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/ven...magnitude-24-bit-384-khz-482.html#post6496437
Then there is also the cap on Vin, on J2. But where exactly have you connected this? On J2 Pin 1, 4, 7 and 10 are GND, pin 2 is PWR A-, 3 is PWR A+, 5 is PWR -5V, 6 is PWR +5V, 8 is PWR 3.3V and 9 is PWR 1.2V. I am quite sure it is to PWR A+ (and gnd)?
many thanks, Erik
Check the data sheet for the regulator on your board and use a multimeter to confirm the locations. Make sure you use appropriate voltage rating of the caps.
Has someone already tried this? I listened to music with it for some time yesterday and can only recommend testing it.The dam1021 adjust its oscillator with an accuracy of 1 Hz, it don't have anything to do with drift. The oscillator will adjust as needed, but can never hit exactly the frequency of the incomming sample rate. It have been explained multiple times since 2014, please read the whole thread 🙂
The adjustments happens in a interrupt routine, so If you want to test without updates, just enter uManager, updates then stop.... But I doubt that anybody can hear it.
In my case the positioning of the instruments was sharper and the music is more involving.
With the umanager activated, I had no dropouts even after 20 minutes. Only when changing the sample rate you have to deactivate it again.

Hi,
I have a Soekris DAM1021 that connects directly to the 3.3v supply.
Sadly the sound is distorted by applying the wrong 5v here.
I know that 3.3v power is used for FPGA, MicroController, Flash and Isolators.
Ask for advice on how to check and whether it can be repaired by replacing parts.
I'm trying to buy a new one, but it's out of stock and it's too late.

On the previous page, Søren said more would be shipping soon. The stated ETA was 3 weeks, and that was 4 weeks ago, but in COVID-time and small-Audio-manufacturer-time that's not too much of a delay yet.
Hopefully, with a little patience, the boards will be available again soon.
I have the dam1021-12 in stock again, just need to test some before they're available....
Huzzah! My finger is ready on the buy button. Will Mod House Audio be getting some for Canada, or is it better for me to go to soekris.dk direct?

hi soren, good news, thanks! will there be the 1021-05 version available as well?
best, horst
In the meantime i have changed my ardam lite code to be able to switch between umanager and normal mode by remote control. For jazz music, I definitely prefer the umanager.
I use the Ardam Lite as well, and therefore also interested in the revised code if you are willing to share!
Hi Koala887
It seems your code does not read the serial data, or am i mistaken? Do you think reading the sample rate and exiting/re-entering uManager on change is worthwhile?

Yes, I only use one input and I found it unnecessary to display the sample rate. After calling up the uManager, no change in the sample rate is recognized and it is no longer possible to change the volume. everyone has to decide for himself whether he wants that.It seems your code does not read the serial data, or am i mistaken?

Thanks koala887. I was concerned about whether volume would work with uManager up. I'll have to set up a switch to work with my Arduino Nano to switch uManager in and out for evaluation.
Well I can't say I heard a difference when uManager was active. Still, worth trying - it's a free experiment.
The dam1021-12 rev7 is now in stock and ready for shipment. It will come with firmware with the updated PLL software. I will soon backport that PLL software to also support pre rev7 dam1021.

Sorry to bug with the same question again, but is Mod House Audio going to get stock? Being in Canada, they are my 'proper' source, but I would just as happily order direct from Soekris.
