    Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 digital DAC

    Have you tried to update the streamer software? Goto the streamer settings / system Tab and check for updates... When you play from your PC, does the indicated Sample rate change on the S2 DAC? I'm wondering of your 48KHz based clock is not happy... (or 44.1KHz) which ever is causing the noise...

    Hi Trevor, Thanks for the offer - as I explained to the "other respected member" :) what I need is a programmer with hardware experience who can handle the XMOS, the C++ is just for the MCU handling the UI / front panel, this is not of great concern as its easy to find skilled programmers in...

    UI stuff yes, not the hardware control blocks, Ill basically create libraries for the hardware level stuff - isolating the more complex (hardware) side from the programmer. The idea is a programmer then just calls functions and transferred data if required, to and from the hardware.

    For sure I make a bad software programmer - I have no idea of whats considered clean style, but I can learn from what I can see as well written code. For so many of todays IC's you need to communicate with them to setup internal registers etc. So I need some way to "power up" the IC's for bench...

    Some updates I've posted on FB:- I spent a couple of days last week with the company - it does see we are moving forward - which is good news. My concern is one of time - they are talking about 5-6 months to have software completed. This is the time it will take for there software team to...

    Some clarification on the path moving forward. The DevDAC will be designed to fit within the orignal MDAC chassis (so those who have salvaged unit can upgrade there units as was the orignal intention) - it will also be offered with a new custom chassis. New front and rear panels will be...

    I can write any software for the VFET's - I'll get to work on the design again once atleast the DevDAC (MDAC2) has shipped.

    An update is due:- Since that start of the Pandemic I've been left high and dry by Jarek WRT software and updates to the PCB design, PCB updates I can manage myself - however software I cannot. There more to the story here with Jarek, but I cannot say more here publicly ATM (in time I will say...

    I'm working on with new EDA tools on a PC that has no internet connection - also a very steep learning curve so I'm trying to get as much done as I can under the current circumstances... After a situation earlier this year where I was tracked via my phone (nothing sinister, but after living...

    Here in Czech we have a essential travel / services only = basically we are in lock-down... 4 members of the family are in the high risk group so I'm very mindful of my actions. Trying to work remotely on the firmware / software without direct access to the lab equipment slows things down...

    Things are REALLY bad here in Czech with a mass lock-down, with the police stopping almost all cars to control non essential travel - they confirm your within your "local" area via ones ID card - its like living in the past where you could not travel outside your area without a pre-approved...
