Ok, thnx Rax. I`ll ask on the picore forum for tips before I give up.
I have multiple cards with OSs - PCP, Volumio, Moode, etc. You can easily swap them. It'd likely be a very easy check if that's the issue, though it sounds like iago has it right.
Thnx Iago. When I try to download win driwer og firmware update, it seems like the links are inactive. I`ll try again later.Hi andRookie,
Sample rate display did not work under Linux roughly since kernel version 3.10. @Lorien fixed it September last year (see post #3252). Using firmware v6.F2 the LED output works with current Linux kernels (5.4 and 5.10 tested).
You can find firmware files on luckit.biz on the 'Support' tab. There used to be an instruction pdf also; since I cannot find it anymore, here my update notes from the last upgrade:
You need to run everything under Windows, unfortunately. 'revertfactory' is mandatory for the update to work.Code:Start terminal session cd "\Program Files\WaveIO\USBAudio_Driver" dfucons revertfactory Start TUSBAudioDfu.exe Browse for firmware file and press start button
Regards,
iago
Got the firmware files downloaded with another browser. Guess I need latest windows drivers to play with firmware update too. Have sent an email to Luckit about them.
Did anybody working on the XMOS firmware manage to make the XMOS into an USB (HID) => I2C bridge? That would be very useful for controlling DACs, ADCs etc...
Any news on 768k PCM rates upgrade?
HI Lorien,
back in November 2020 you mentioned working on higher rates for the firmware, and the need to have 4x.xxxx oscilators.
Any news on that? I would happily purchase a unit with such SDA oscilattors with a beta firmware, anticipating a final release in the future.
Best,
Abraham

Hi,
Being a happy owner of a red module, I designed a simple display to work with it. Have a look here Diode-Transistor Logic Display (for Wave IO)

... and I just enter in the DTL era @ theoretical level! 🙄
Very, very nice work! It's like looking back in time! 🙂
Well designed, very impressed!
@ Sidiropa: I had a version but lowest DoP fs isn't working! Still, the main issue is with LEDs since I wanted to go further and add a display!
Got stuck along the process as it seems that I wanted more than I could chew! 🙂
Kind regards,

I connected the WAVEIO card via I2S to the AK4497 DAC board using Arduino. Source code and connection diagram here:

I'm having issues getting a tube DAC to play using the i2s output of the WaveIO. The isolated spdif works fine, but for some reason i2s won't.
I'm getting around 1.3v on the Data line when music is playing, 1.65v on bit clock and word clock, 3.3v for v in, and nothing connected to the mute (L8) on J9.
Am I missing anything? Master clock is not connected to anything. Problem could still be with the tube DAC, but I figured I'd attack the issue from both sides and ask here.

@ SonnyMarrow:
If MCLK is not connected then ... I have no idea why isn't working since the I2S signals seems to be good!

Seems to be fine to me since the data signals aren't repetitive (with a 50/50% duty cycle).I'm getting around 1.3v on the Data line
Also okay! The average voltage of 1.65V is basically 3.3v/2.1.65v on bit clock and word clock
If MCLK is not connected then ... I have no idea why isn't working since the I2S signals seems to be good!
BUT:
- Make sure the I2S signals after the isolator have a "square" form. You'll need a scope for this task! I saw damaged isolator chips that sourced distorted signals which, with a multimeter can be wrongly "seen" as okay.
- See if your WaveIO isn't muted even though you mention something about that!

@ CKL: just drop me an email and you'll have it!
On another hand there's a small update on WaveIO's web page! If there's anyone interested just drop me a message using the contact form!
Kind regards,

Hello!
What do you think about a DDC in front of the WaveIO?
I had a great deal on iFi Micro iUSB3.0 and I'm waiting for it to arrive in two weeks.
I think its ultra low noise power supply will be beneficial for the WaveIO but what about the double digital conversion?!

Hello all and Happy New Year!
It's my first post on this new and updated DIYaudio forum! Nice looking thing BTW, but my head is spinning around a bit to find what I'm looking for 😊
@ vessk0: maybe my question is weird but what you mean about "double digital conversion"? I'm having some ideas in my mind but I just want to be sure we are speaking about the same thing!
@ Doede: that link is not available anymore because it was a page built solely for Black Friday offer (2021)! If you hover your mouse over "small update" text you'll see what I mean! Anyway, feel free to PM me for clarifications! 😉
Kind regards,
Lucian

Hey, I don't know if I'm correctly describing it but basically the WaveIO board will take the cleaned and reclocked digital signal from the USB output of the iFi device and also will be powered from it. Will this work bit-perfectly, what will happen to the jitter?@ vessk0: maybe my question is weird but what you mean about "double digital conversion"? I'm having some ideas in my mind but I just want to be sure we are speaking about the same thing!
