Here is my current and evolving wishlist :
1Ā° - No MQA support (confirmed)
2Ā° - Pure Balanced/Unbalanced DAC
3Ā° - No HPA embedded (confirmed)
3Ā° - No RCA sockets soldered, please
4Ā° - Full schematic published (as TB1)
5Ā° - Coax SPDIF & Toslink inputs, or 2 SPDIF inputs
6Ā° - Dual Balanced & Unbalanced output
7Ā° - Software settings : filters, features, vol, etcā¦ (USB)
8Ā° - Price : same as TB1
Hi,@ABSNimes
1.We will release a firmware that support SPDIF out without MQA support;
2.Do you mean the balanced outputs are XLR-3s?
3.We should discuss this.
4.You may can consider our another products Tone2, which is the DAC for DIY customer,the hardware is similar with Tone2 Pro.
5.We should discuss this.
6.We should discuss this.
7.the hardware can realise this function,the newly software cannot support this.
8.you can consider Tone2 later.
Thank you Eric68 for your input. English isnāt my native language, BTW I try to explain my points.
Iām just trying to figure what will be included or not with T2 for DIY. Thatās the point.
1Ā° - No MQA support : XMOS XU216 will be replaced by XMOS XUxxx ?
Youāre referring to T2Pro in your answer, fixing SPDIF Out without MQA.
2Ā° - Could we use both Balanced & Unbalanced output at the same time ?
When I say āpure DACā, I mean no HeadPhoneAmp inside.
3Ā° - DIY community, maybe Iām wrong, wonāt easily use your RCA Balanced connectorsā¦
People are most intended to choose a 3 pins usual XLR of their own prefered brand.
Pinouts/Soldering Pads on PCB are welcome for outputs (Balanced/Unbalanced).
What about USB connectors ?
4Ā° - Please give some hints about T2 for DIYā¦ Canāt wait
Schematic for T2Pro isnāt available by now.
Yep, you almost get all the points of the upcoming Tone2, the only feature that you missed is Tone2 will also support Coax output if with balanced RCA soldered.
Let me dream a little -Tone 2 with ESS sabre dac of course,no-headphone in,no spdif in ,no MQa support ,balanced
out -Khadas xlr cable free with purchase -i2S usb-c (5v) by Khadas (included in purchase)-volume control through app only keep the push/pull knob but with better control over it.Better āHeat dissipationā for XMOS.
Q4 of 2021 ! Are you serious ?
Canāt trust anything but official informations.
Khadas is not that much involved in DIY boards.
So whatās up ? Nothing sadlyā¦
I only consider facts ; they are too few hereā¦
So, what are you able to show as previous release, a schematic ?
Did you get some real Official informations or only rumors ?
Yes, Q4 isnāt finished yetā¦ almost nothing new on the horizon.
Maybe another Balanced RCA patented connector ?
Show me Iām wrong
No news nor informations for monthesā¦
It seems DIYerās world isnāt a market considered by Khadas.
Made my choice with another serious brand.
Very pleased using my SU-9n, delivered within 6 days to France.
Stellar measured results on ASR, standard XLR connectors, display, remoteā¦
Bye Khadas, have fun !
