Simple DSD modulator for DSC2

Undoubtedly! The U30 significantly outperforms the Amanero in terms of sound. You won't be disappointed.
But there is an opinion that the latest firmware for U30 sound worse. I have old firmware versions. If someone needs something - write in private.
Yes please send me those old firmware that you tried sound better...

I'm sending you a private message right now...

Thank you very much...

The boards need +5v power. There is a regulator on the board that drops the +5v down to +3.3v. Therefore it doesn't need any power from Amanero.

BTW has anyone listened to one of these boards yet? If so, any opinions on SQ? Obviously it might help to get Amanero off of USB power, and or to reclock the output of the FPGA. In the latter case it might help to run Amanero from external clocks located closer to the dac and better situated for reclocking. Anyone tried anything like that?

That's the best setup for me:
Amanero (clock slave)>Chronus>Simple DSD modulator>low pass filter>step-up?
Amanero (clock slave)>Simple DSD modulator>Chronus>low pass filter>step-up?

To power the Simple DSD modulator could I share the same 5V powering the Chronus or it's better separate PSU?
