I suggest a minimum 48 hours, but the card will improve up to 200-250h Enjoy :) Best regards, Marcin Ostapowicz JPLAY & JCAT Founder Cazzesman 1 JPLAY & JCAT Founder Link to comment
Gavin1977 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 @Marcin_gps can you tell me how much current each of the USB Outputs is able to provide? I have a USB bus powered DAC, works fine from my motherboards USB sockets but it powers only intermittently from the JCAT USB XE card. The power supply I am using with the USB XE card can deliver up to 2.8v. Thanks Link to comment
Patatorz Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 2.8A you mean ? Blog / Forum Link to comment
Gavin1977 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Yes sorry 2.8A, earlier typo my mistake. Current requirements for U192ETL are up to 500 mA. Normal PC USB output should be fine to deliver up to 500 mA, this power requirement is also communicated via USB descriptors to PC/Host. Would be great to work out why USB XE isn’t powering my U192ETL correctly. Link to comment

Gavin1977 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hi @Marcin_gps - Can you explain the grounding configuration of the JCAT USB XE with regards to performance of USB output and how it can affect the attached DAC? Thanks Link to comment

Thanks The ground is connected to the steel PCIe bracket and then to the enclosure. Some customers use this or other similar products to 'improve' grounding.

Grisza08 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I've been user of Jcat usb xe card in over 2 month's now so is fully break in. I'm so happy with performance and decided to get ride of auralic G1 and play music from singel pc instead ( roon core and player). Compare single pc to pc + Auralic, music with usb xe become more realistic more control more natural. It's my second Jcat product and I know want stop there. Congratulations Marcin you been also helpful with my psu Link to comment

Marcin_gps Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 "Time after time the Polish company proves that they know what they are doing. The XE series does this again. Yes: it's serious money you're paying. But it works. It has taken our Alpha Audio PC to a level where we think: can this really be done with a 'normal PC'? Well... the Jcat NET XE and USB XE with Optimo Nano prove it. Our PC doesn't sound like a computer with usb-dac, but like a seriously high-quality streamer. Alpha Approved."
