SPDIF in/out board for MiniDSP

jderimig · 24th August 2020, 04:03 PM

I am spinning a board to allow SPDIF (coaxial) in and out for a MiniDSP board. If I get it working would anyone be interested in a copy? Not trying to make money, but I will have extras.

Which board and how many channels?

jderimig · 24th August 2020, 05:07 PM

oops my bad, duh.

Its for the basic MiniDsp2x4. The main driver for me in this project is the plug-in I want only runs on the 2x4 but I wanted a purely digital stream.

MiniDsp 2x4 but it may work on the 2x4HD. I will need to check

MiniDSP already sells a great product called the nanoDIGI 2x8:
miniDSP Kits : nanoDIGI 2x8 K
It's all digital (inputs and outputs), has remote control capability, and has 4 stereo digital outputs (8 channels). Just add DACs. You get to choose which DACs to use, and can upgrade them anytime.

Why reinvent the wheel, AND be stuck with the crappy DACs and output network onboard the 2x4?

What is the plug-in that you claim is only available on the 2x4 platform?

Yup. I have MiniSharc board for all my other D-D processing.

The Ambiosonic plug-in only runs on the 2x4. Currently I am fascinated by it and wonder what it will sound like with a superior DAC chain.

Alas, project stalled. The ambio plug-in for the 2x4 does not support digital in/out. Bummer. Would have to do my own DSP (Probabably an ADI eval kit) but I am not sure I want to invest that much work into a system. But thinking about it.

maybe you can take the filtered digital out from th I²S header on the 2x4?
