eggers Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I need an AES/EBU output for my DAC, and I was wondering if putting this Audiophonics pi-hat on the USBridge Signature would be a possible (or even good) solution? The alternative would be to connect an external USB-to-AES/EBU converter to the USB output from the USBridge, but I’d like to limit the number of devices, PSUs, and cables.

Ran Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 If you need to add AES output to a Pi, you should look at these: http://www.pi2design.com/pi2aes.html http://www.pi2design.com/502dac.html Link to post Share on other sites

It is much more expensive than the Audiophonics hat I linked to, and seemingly not better designed. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you will learn something new. Perhaps you will gain new perspective? Who knows... Link to post Share on other sites

The Pi2aes is a totally different device. It has serious clocks and regulation, it is an excellent unit. I am currently using it I2s and I am very impressed. It is a bargain at the asking price.

eggers Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 Thank you both. I have taken a closer look at the Pi2AES and it indeed looks more serious than the Audiophonics one. Is there a way to convert the phase noise specifications of the two oscillators so that I can compare them? Eg. the Audiophonics device is specified in PPM, and the Pi2AES (using the NZ2520SD) is specified in dBc/Hz. Link to post Share on other sites
