OK, let me stamp on this *NOW*. This is not just directed at you bakker, so please don't take personally..... USB is plug and play. RCA jacks, analogue out is plug and play. I2S is not plug and play. If you don't know the what and why, you're setting yourself up for a whole lot of pain. IMHO, (and this is directed at you specifically), you should head where you were heading. Get that Curryman DAC, (which IIRC correctly is ES9023 with async clock and buffer output), get it working with a USB to I2S interface. Put it in a nice case. Use at least a linear reg power supply. At some point later on, down the road, you can look at feeding it directly with I2S. Maybe put a TP teleporter sender in the WB plastic case, add a receiver to your standalone DAC, link them with a hdmi cable. There are bodies buried all over the place. With the BeagleboneBlack. (Which is fresh in my mind as it is sitting in front of me right now.) Easy 2.54mm headers, but the BBB has a crap "standard" clock and can only do 48k multiples. The Cubietruck requires SMT soldering. The WB requires SMT soldering. I'm going to draw the line on the software side. Is the software able to provide an I2S output. 16, 24, and 32 bit I2S output. Tick. Line in the sand. Zero support from that point onwards. You want to interface with this XXXX DAC. Good luck with that. ;) I could rattle off a list of DAC chips I've already interfaced via I2S to one of these ARM devices. Since we just touched on the Curryman DAC, I could start telling you that I've used ES9023 in async with external osc, and sync, 4 wire with MCLK from board, but there is absolutely zero chance of me documenting it. I'm hopeful that there will be a couple of people, with the software side of things sorted, who have the knowledge and experience, to provide a HOWTO with this specific DAC board and ARM board. Something that people with lesser experience can follow and end up with a working solution. But again, not going to be me. My priority is going to be the CS hardware as soon as the F20 images are out there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
