Re: what are you doing ?

Been trying to extract 40 ltrs of diesel from my tank before the salvage company come to collect it, without any success. Antisphyon devices stop my putting the transfer pipe down the fuel filler pipe. Tried disconnecting the fuel feed pipe under the back seat and connecting the transfer pump on the...

Re: Something Stirs in the Workshop

Haven’t done much to my speakers since the WAM show, added some spikes to them last weekend. Repurposed some brass door stops to support the spikes as outriggers…. £2.50 each from tool station.

Re: My Kubelik DAC Build

Interested as looking at replacing my Amanero board with the JLsounds board. Did you power the JLsounds board with its own 3.3/5v feeds or are you relying on the power from the USB? Cannot see any wires on the photos but they could be underneath.

Re: USB interfaces and clocks

Okay think i am understanding now, so you basically put the USB converter in the streamer, convert to HDMI and feed those twisted pairs to the DAC via an HDMI signal. Putting 2 more devices in the path though I see a benefit if we are saying the USB cable is the weak link in the digital chain.

Re: USB interfaces and clocks

LVDS cable - same as ribbon cable, or is it something different. I am using some ribbon cable for raspberry pi stuff with the pin connectors on each end (7 cm)

Re: USB interfaces and clocks

I suppose I can put the I2S board ( which ever one I go for) on the 2.5mm pins of the DAC/DSP board. I didnt as the pin call outs weren’t common :x. But can work out some crossover pin arrangement. Will end up having longer wires to the I2S board, but an extra 200mm in a 1m usb cable, when you use u...

Re: USB interfaces and clocks

70mm is probably shorter than the DAC boards input pins to the chip. I take it from your comment that shielded cable isn’t necessary?

Re: USB interfaces and clocks

Car is in the insurance companies hands now, so can refocus on audio. The other card people rave about is https://luckit.biz/. But I am not sure as the galvanic ground isn’t in the right place. The system I heard that kicked off this was using a mutec to reclock and feed into spdif. In my mind the s...

Re: USB interfaces and clocks

Thanks, for the info. I will have to digest the options. A bit distracted today, as had a fight with a ford ranger tow bar, and lost big style, so have to sort out my wheels before thinking about HiFi. That aside was thinking of ordering the JLsounds board and the oscillator board without the clocks...

Re: USB interfaces and clocks

I used the Twisted Pear Hermes card, for galvanic isolation.

Re: USB interfaces and clocks

I have galvanic isolation on the Amanero card already. Yes the question is whether someone else is better.. The JL sounds card has an external oscillator card that designed to go with it, so why both improving the clock if there is no benefit ? The best card (allegedly) the Sonore audio bytes card h...

USB interfaces and clocks

Trying to understand the benefits of changing the Amanero USB to I2S card in my DSP preamp, for something better. I heard a system recently with a reclocker in the path and it seemed to improve things. A bit confused as I thought a I2S interface into a DAC is asynchronous, so don’t understand why im...

Re: Interesting (non musical) YouTube videos.

If USB C its has 5amp current capacity too. Be interesting if they did the same on a Shunanya USB cable - those magic processes that covert a 10 dollar cable into a 1000 dollar cable won’t show up :D
