The new Sonore opticalModule Deluxe

[Markus8]

So when using a Farad Super3, better go with 7V or 9V for the oM Deluxe?

Thank you @Superdad

So the oM Deluxe V2 is on the way which will be exciting to test in my system. 
Now only ER Gen.2 is missing to make ny setup evolution perfect 😉

Please tell us about what’s new with the V2 opticalModule released today. 

Some update would be really helpful to people interested.

There are no new features, it does exactly the same thing as the previous oM Deluxe. The reason for this version is that all the main chips in the previous version have become completely unavailable. This is a re-design to use chips that ARE available. The search took a very long time, almost every chip in this space had zero stock in the world. What I finally found was a single chip that does everything in one chip and was designed by a group of engineers that do a VERY good job, I have worked on chips with them before. The result is a chip that will have significantly lower power and ground noise than the previous version. I have no idea exactly what this does to the sound, I have not had time to spend quality time with it to find out.

Thank you very much for the insights. So apart from the new chip, has there been any other improvement in the new design that was needed? Also has the clock been upgraded too or is this still the same version as in OM D v1?
