I'm in the process of building a DAC and was just wondering if anyone has any experience with the currently crop of USB/I2S interfaces?
The ones I'm contemplating are:
- JLsounds I2SoverUSB: http://jlsounds.com/i2soverusb.html
- DIYINHK XMOS 384: http://www.diyinhk.com/shop/audio-k...d256-high-quality-usb-to-i2sdsdspdif-pcb.html
- Amanero: https://www.amanero.com/
- Singxer C-1: https://kitsunehifi.com/product/singxer-c1-ndk/
The first one looks to offer a lot for the money, you can add an oscillator board later on (http://jlsounds.com/oscil.html), different options to power it, isolated.
However the JLsounds board uses an older XMOS module and there seems to be quite a buzz around the newest XMOS' (XU208/XU216), featured in the DIYINHK and also the Singxer.
What bothers me with Singxer is that it is only USB powered (and I'd really like to avoid external power supplies if possible)...
Kinda leaning towards the DIYINHK one. Anyone has any hands on experience?
Also - isolation yes or no? I've read different opinions on it, but that was quite some time ago...
