Requirements collection for firmware update of Tone's(Tone1,Tone2,Tone2 Pro)

Hi, friends who use Tone’s products, we will carry out some upgrades for Tone’s next year. If you have any ideas, please reply to this post and we will collect your suggestions and try to add the functions to the new firmware.

Please note the product name, such as:
Tone2 Pro add S/PDIF out function, …(More detailed description)

The following is an introduction to each Tone’s

Thanks for all friends. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

How about getting the khadas Android app working?

Would be helpful to control all that hardware :slight_smile:

I can play via USB C but the app can not find the DAC from Android. The app wants me to to turn on Bluetooth and wont let me do anything until it can find a device, which it wont.
I have not updated the DAC in ages and if it was a easy task to actually check the status of the DAC from a USB Android device maybe I would. If not maybe you should give this information together with the app :thinking:

Hi Fritz_Ozorian,
Do you mean that, use Khadas Audio app to connect the Tone device?
Currently, Khadas Audio app only supports Tea. The APP will add support for BT Magic in the future. BT Magic can be connected to Tone2 and Tone2 Pro, but does not support Tone1 devices. so the Khadas Audio app could control the Tone2 or Tone2 Pro via BT Magic in the future.

Please make Tone1 VIMS Edditon S/PDIF out function work.

Thank You.

Hi Donanon,
We will add this function in the Tone1’s firmware update plan.
Off topic, I would like to know, when do you usually use this S/PDIF output function? Can the analog output performance of the current Tone1 DAC meet your usage requirements?
Your suggestions are helpful for our products, thanks.

When will we get an update to make Tone1 VIMS Edditon S/PDIF out function work? I’ve been waiting a long time for this.

Thanks

Hi Donanon,
Sorry for the incorrect information earlier.We check again, this hardware not support XMOS’s S/PDIF out function.
this pin not connect to the XMOS:


Can check Tone1 sch & silk form here. The S/PDIF out function designed for the VIMs SBC output
Thanks

Is it possible to adjust tone2 pro volume in the future application?
Or can I check the current tone2 pro volume by numbers?

Hi mush09,
It’s no application to adjust the Tone2 Pro volume at present, you could adjust the volume from system control, but this not the NJU72315’s volume control.

Thanks

Is ton2 pro capable of SPDIF output now?
If output is possible, which RCA cable should I use?

Hi
Tone2 Pro can support SPDIF output, but you need to update the XMOS firmware.
And the RCA cable should use khadas balanced male RCA connector.

thank you for your reply

What version of xmos do I need to update for spdif output?
I will connect ton2 pro sipdif output to hugo2 input
CODE hugo2 accepts 3.5mm mono SPDIF input
How should I connect khadas blanced RCA (3 pole) and 3.5mm mono terminal (2 pole)?

thank you for your help

Hi
We have debug version for S/PDIF output, and do not have formal version for it.
And how to connect khadas balanced RCA to 3.5mm headphone,I give you the definition of our balanced RCA, and I do not know which pin of your 3.5mm headphone is SPDIF.

thank you for your kind help
And where can I download the debug version for S/PDIF output?
I really need SPDIF output

Hi
The descriptions of this version firmware are as follows:
1、Support SPDIF OUT from RCA(white)
2、No MQA decoder

Hi Kns35082996,
I will release a version for you to add the S/PDIF ouput, please Wait, I think this week will be finished.
Thanks

Hi Kns35082996,
Since the firmware attachment cannot be uploaded to the post, I have sent you the firmware via private message, please check it out.

The current chip resources have been used up. When adding the S/PDIF out function, some functions need to be removed before adding it. Therefore, the new firmware removes the MQA function to add the S/PDIF out function. Please be informed.

The S/PDIF output channel supports the output of PCM44.1kHz~PCM192kHz audio sources.

In addition, I would like to know in what scenarios/purposes do you need to use the S/PDIF out function on the Tone2 Pro? Why not decode and output directly through the DAC of the Tone2 Pro?

I needed SPDIF output from the beginning
(I am using Hugo 2Go as a network player, and when watching videos such as YouTube on a PC, I need SPDIF output to connect the PC and Hugo 2Go.)
While looking for various alternatives, I found out that ton2 pro is capable of SPDIF output.
So, instead of installing a SPDIF output card on the PC, we planned to use TON2 PRO to do PCFI.
The main purpose was SPDIF output, and PCFI was the next purpose.
I am satisfied with the performance of Tone 2 Pro.
Thank you for helping me use SPDIF like this.
The balanced RCA terminal is being shipped, so I will make a cable, test it, and give feedback after the terminal arrives.
thank you for your help
