Perfect reproduction at 96 and 192k. Also fast forward and rewind work flawlessly at any rate (always in foobar 2000 1.1.10). I can also add that: - my PC is actually a 11" notebook from Acer, with ULV CPU, so no much horsepower here, but the CPU stays at 2 - 6% even when upsampling - everything was ok even with a 800KBPS download from 2L in background ... Even if you switch on and off the resampler while playing there are no strange noises, only a very small silence (0,1 sec) and then music again. Perfect. |

If you remove L2 and put supply to pin C21 you do external power analog DAC supply. If you remove L1 and put supply to pin C31 you do external power clock supply. Yes, but through ADP151 regulators. Remove R23 and put supply to connector J4 analog DAC supply. Remove R22 and put supply to connector J3 clock supply. This put power supply to DAC and clock without through ADP151 regulators. What is the function of pin 3 EN ADP151 regulators? What is the function of J2 J3 and J4 connectors? I think that putting 3.3 V. on connector J2 ADP151 regulators off (ADP151 EN pin 3). And you can put external power supply to J3 and J4 without desoldering components R22 and R23, or L1 and L2. And without through ADP151 regulators. It's easier. Thank you very much for your help. |

Hi Oneclock,
The EN pin is to enable/disable the regulators. It will play a role for USB power down. It is called VBUS_EN because it determines wheter or not additional points of load from VBUS may be in use. J2 is a future upgrade power sense by which the MCU may learn something about an external power. It is connected to an ADC pin of the MCU. J3 and J4 are for bypassing the ADP151s. Or for tapping their output to whatever you choose to patch onto the board. Remove R22, R23, respectively, for bypass. Børge |

Hi guys,
I'm sensing the same kinds of thoughs on a lot of different channels here: screw the driver, let's make a VM. This we can do! I'm all for it! There is much more Linux knowledge than Windows knowledge in our group. Here are some loose thoughts. Let's bring out our ideas first before we start cutting them down. Do pardon my lack of proper lingo... - Which VMs are available with sensible licenses? - Will a VM forward a raw USB port not supported by the host OS? - A "driver" should be split in multiple parts/layers to make it portable and spread out our efforts - UAC2 hardware interface on (realtime?) stripped-down Linux kernel - Target "HW" is VM on host, lowcost Linux box in stereo kit, eventually Android phone - GUI over httpd to put it on browser or player plugin - GUI may be pyisically separate from player kernel - Audio data over streaming or mounted fs - Player program(s) installable and accessible through X/ssh - We might even make a Windows ASIO driver which talks to the VM :-) I want to hear your ideas too before we start eliminating and straightening things out! Børge |

The J-test signal is Explained here: http://www.nanophon.com/audio/diagnose.pdf I use J-test 44.1 khz. 16 bit. It is a tone of 11 kHz at -3 dBFS over a square wave of 1 bit to 229 hz with many harmonics. The best measure of Jtest that I have is Hiface Buffalo DAC and has an analog output + 3 dBu in the spectrum analyzer. In absolute values for hiface images should have a scale of 6 dB less.
An externally hosted image should be here but it no longer works. Please upload images instead of linking to them to prevent this.
Jtest: Hiface+ Buffalo DAC AB-1.1 has output + 5 dBu. It should come down 8 dB to absolute values. Last edited by oneoclock; 31st December 2011 at 07:20 PM. |

Hi Oneclock,
interesting stuff! What is the analyzer you're using? In your opinion, is this good or bad? I'm new to Jtest. Børge |

AB-1.1exceptional measures. In AM700 Tektronix spectrum analyzer similar measures to Benchmark DAC1 USB and Hiface + Buffalo USB DAC.
All DAC I measure, have many differences in quality between programs with default setings. This DAC with proper program settings, all programs measures identically, as well as Hiface work. It works really asynchronous. In other DAC, is always very big differences one program to other in quality when the clock is provided by the PC and there are only DAC PLL clock. |

I've attached an external 5v supply to J5. Nothing exotic just a Black Gate 1000uF 50v cap before and after a 7805 OnSemi regulator. MUR860 rectifying diodes. Too early to tell yet if it's made a day and night difference - need to dosome serious listening tomorrow. It's allstill working fine however and doesn't sound any worse
