Just got my new toy and took it apart. Very nice machine.

The S/PDIF receiver (and transmitter) chip is the AK4114:

Kevin tried several coax cables of various length and quality but could not reproduce any loss-of-sync problem or obvious data errors. Still testing though.

When I was setting up my squeezebox2 I had to remove my

With the ultramatch (a jitter buster amongst other things) in the loop
I got no sound and the emphasis light
on both the dac and the behringer flashed randomly.

I was surprised to read this as when I connected my new Squeebox 2 to
first an Apogee Big Ben and then a Genesis Digital Lens
both locked instantly (the Big Ben in narrow mode) and showed exactly 44.10.


As I happen to have a Behringer Ultramatch Pro
(i.e. the MK2 24/96 version of the Ultramatch) lying around
I just connected my Squeezebox 2 to it and it locks instantly/cleanly ...


If I recall correctly the Ultramatch MK1 used the old
CS8402 SPDIF receiver (whereas the MK2 uses the newer 8412/8414 series),
I wonder which receiver the Rotel RSX1056 uses ...
