  1. Unfortunately I had to table the project. I'm awful at Soldering and I think I may have botched the whole thing. I tried to feed directly into the DAC by desoldering the output legs of the DF1700 Receiver and wiring in directly the outputs of the I2S but somewhere along the lines it stopped working. I'm not sure where to go and I lost momentum on the project.
  2. From my experience, women just don't care to sit down and seriously listen to music. They like or even love music, but they don't seem to care to sit and seriously listen. Perhaps they are more visually stimulated and require a visual component to be engaged, I don't know.
  3. Thanks for posting the pics! A few questions/comments: 1. Is the jumper still on the USB board? I was told if the jumper is on, then the USB section is powered by USB. 2. The blue and black wires on the Oscilator board, am I correct in seeing that you're taking the input for the Oscillator board and then connecting to the USB 5v input? 3. Love the quick release setup! Are you going to the digital receiver or directly to the DAC chips? Thanks! David
  4. I have the same setup. I know where the Clock PSU inputs go. For the USB part, after you take off the jumper, were is the 5v input?
  5. Very happy to hear your direct comparison against the Singxer. I was concerned that the Singxer might be better, but I feel a bit better about it now. Do you have the upgraded clocks too?
  6. Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to try USB power for USB section and seperate psu for the clock board at first and then go from there.
  7. Glad to hear it worked! Hoping i have some time on Sunday to do a test install on mine. Have you tried limiting your bit depth to 24bit? Also did you check out the thread I linked above? Has a ton of information on the Izotope settings.
  8. Not yet, I need some chassis wire to connect up to my DAC. Should be coming over the weekend. Hopefully I have time to do it. Otherwise won't be in till next week. My install is a little more involved as I'll have to remove the digital receiver chip and send the data and clock signals from to board to the appropriate spots on my DAC board.
  9. Nice! Glad to hear you fixed the issue and that the product is solid. I received mine on Friday but haven't had a chance to install yet.
  10. That sucks! Sorry to hear that. It was working for a little bit and then it stopped? That sounds odd. Have you tried emailing Lyuben?
  11. According to the TDA1543 datasheet, it can accept up to 4x oversampling. For a 48khz signal that's 192khz. However, the max sample rate accepted on the CS8414 is 96khz so that's likely the upper limit you could send over. For a test try these settings and see if you get a signal. 1. Go to Audirvana+ Preferences 2. Go to the "Audio System" Tab 3. On that tab you should see your active audio device and in Green the sample rates it will accept. Since the I2SoverUSB will be the active audio device, it should be all lit up. 4. At the very bottom of that screen, you should see "Max Sample Rate". Use the drop down to select 96khz. 5. I'd select the bit depth to be 24bit just in case. 6. Go to the Audio Filters Tab. Make sure iZotope 64bit is selected. 7. For "Forced Oversampling" Select Power of 2. This means that 44.1khz will get sampled up by 2x or 4x up to you max sample rate. In this case 88.2khz. 8. Quit and see if you get music out of your DAC. If so take a screen shot of the default settings for the iZotope SRC. Then read this thread and play around: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f11-software/izotope-sample-rate-convertor-15352/ 9. If you don't like the sound, change the Forced Oversampling back to none. I'm not expert, this is just what I will be doing once I receive my I2SoverUSB.
  12. I'm glad to hear this. I ordered one with the clock board and power supply. I will be directly feeding the pcm63 chips on my Adcom DAC-600, bypassing the DF1700 digital filter. I also use A+ and will use the Izotope for oversampling (or not) and digital filters. I know the Shigaraki is NOS, so you could use Izotope for software filtering with this setup too. In case you wanted to experiment w differences in OS and NOS.
  13. Hi new poster here. Is there a reason classifieds don't show up in Tapatalk? This would be a welcome upgrade. Great community! Edit: well I finally saw the subscriber tab so I'm assuming that's why I can't see it in Tapatalk.

    Car audio?

    As someone who drives nearly 3 hours a day, I appreciate car audio quite a bit. I would say some of the best use of dsp is done in car's. Today's dsps are really great tools to help achieve great sound. I stream BT to my Alpine deck but the processing of Helix DSP is what makes thing sound great.
