S/PDIF 4:1 MUX/Receiver Module

[merlin el mago]

I want to know when the S/PDIF 4:1 MUX/Receiver Module will be available?

 

[ivigueras]

Yes. I would like to know it too.

 

[Theodosis O.]

Me too

 

[LeonvB]

That may take a while, there seems to be a new version in development with the WM8805.

 

[Ryssen]

Me too..

 

[zperko]

+1🙂

 

[Russ White]

It is slated for the next round of boards for me to order. 🙂

I am only verifying some the design aspects right now.

That's great news Russ, and thanks for the update! Is it going to remain the same size as the current MUX module?

progress?

Can I use the Buffalo III`s "4-Channel S/PDIF Input and Switch Module Kit" to feed a dual mono COD with i2s?

 

[BrianDonegan]

It will be soon, assiming no issues with the prototypes.

The SPDIF module for the Buffalo-III does not actually switch the S/PDIF signals. It provides four inputs for (and control of) the ES9018's internal mux.

 

[gwikse]

Thats great. Can you give us info on the features?

 

[Russ White]

It is a WM8805 implementation with 4:1 SPDIF/AES in and I2S out by default. I am developing adaptive firmware to enable locking of both 192khz and 176.4khz signals (can't be done in hardware mode).

It also has both 2bit channel selection input and direct access via I2C for AC2 etc.

Hi Russ,

Is SPDIF out another option?

Will there there be a switch like the previous version to switch the inputs?

Thank you,
Milton

Yes

"It also has both 2bit channel selection input and direct access via I2C for AC2 etc."

It will use the same switch and method as the old MUX (2-bit channel selection), but also allow I2C control.

 

[gwikse]

Will the new module be for sale anytime soon (max a month or two)?

 

[Russ White]

We have the new PCBs, and will be testing them as soon as we have all the parts together. As soon as we know it is working well it will be available.

 

[suffolk tony]

Good news Russ. I reckon it'll be a real winner & the icing on the cake for us Buffalo owners.

 

[gwikse]

Will the power requirements be the same as with "The S/PDIF Transceiver Module" (7,5V)?

 

[gwikse]

Any progress?

 

[Russ White]

Yes. I have a prototype module, and am just waiting for a few parts to arrive (next day or two) and I will begin testing it in earnest.
