Hi maqu1a,
You are right, when using BT Magic, need to select I2S input selecton.
It is not recommended to connect BT Magic at the AUTO input selection, when using the old version CPLD firmware. The routing logic of the old version CPLD firmware will cause Tone2 Pro to have a switching process. We have fixed this problem in the new CPLD firmware. But this update needs to be applied in the new batch of production, The CPLD firmware update needs to be disassembled and a special burning tool(Altera USB-Blaster).
Yep, I heard that to, had high gain setting, since I’m running unbalanced until I can get my cans modded to TRRRS.
Try high ohm headphones in unbalanced >250Ohm or 600Ohm
Hi Piotr,
Confirm again, still heard that after upgrading to v1.41? If so, please provide more details.
- What does the noise sound like?
- Which player? still Tidal?
- Which song?
- Tone2 Pro setting: high gain
- Output mode: 3.5 headphone or RCA?
- Headphone impedance: >250Ohm or 600Ohm.
-
What does the noise sound like? Like severe clipping and breaks in audio. I had to take off the headphones
-
Which player? still Tidal?
Roon (streaming from Tidal) -
Which song? (Don’t rembember, pretty consistent on multiple songs)
-
Tone2 Pro setting: high gain
yes high gain -
Output mode: 3.5 headphone or RCA?
3.5mm TSR -
Headphone impedance: >250Ohm or 600Ohm.
600 Ohm Beyerdynamic DT880
PS. Work very well with DT770 80Ohm. I think the output stage is underpowered for 600Ohm unbalanced. I will convert the DT770 to balanced as soon as I get a TSSSR 4.4mm connector.
I don’t think you should worry with this for now Kenny. I will get back if there are problems with balanced headphones mod. Also I haven’t upgraded the FW yet so it’s the factory version for 11A11002A
How do I check FW version without connecting to the upgrade port?
Hi Piotr,
There’s no other way to check the version without connecting upgrade port at present.

ok, upgrade to v1.41 will be better, you could have a try.

Upgraded to 1.41 without HID Volume control and with PCM768
No change in supported format in Win11
Also ASIO device is now missing from Roon:
DFU tools are now broken too:
And the device manager is in weird state:
Audio is playing from Tone2 Pro
After uninstalling the drivers khadas_tone_dfu_tool_v5.30.0_211208 rebooting and reinstalling, I was able to use the DFU tool again. Roon is showing following formats:
khadas_tone_dfu_tool_v5.30.0_211208
But windows still shows 384k as max
Can you give some feedback on what PCM768 actually means and how I can verify that it’s working?
I found a free 768kHz PCM file here:
Does this mean I’m now playing native 768kHz
The 1.41 and both low and high gain can drive my DT 880 600Ohm, no issues through the unbalanced 3.5mm TSR connection. I would say low gain is normal listening volume at max volume, I would like to use the higher gain, but then I will not set volume more than 90%. Low gain has lower noise and I think when I go 4.4mm TSSSR balanced connection, the low gain will be enough. No clipping or anything else.
I think you should consider one more UX improvement:
- The turquise color only visible when you change volume (and that is not something you do constantly). Your ears will be your UX feedback and the visual is an extra.
- Put the playback format as always visible, because that’s something you care about if you are using Khadas Tone2 Pro (otherwise you could buy cheap junk elsewhere). The format is visible maybe 1s, but it takes the device a few seconds to visualize the format, so you need to time that to ca 5s after a trach changes. Always showing format would improve my life a lot.

Yes, DFU tool and ASIO play need the ASIO driver, not know why it’s missing, you can reinstall it again.
Windows not support PCM768 display, but you can get the sample rate info from Tone2 Pro LED Indicator or in Khadas Audio Dashboard:

Thank’s for your sharing and advice. 
I think this not only about the volume indicator, other operation mode will be display this fomat while fomat change, and for most of user need know the Tone2 Pro’s status (Volume \Track \Gain \Input\ Filter), if always display the format, it will cause inconvenience in other aspects of use. we will consider this for next version update(but not sure will be change this). Thinks for your advice again.

MQA Support in squeezelite (linux)
I found out that I can’t use MQA on squeezelite, but iFi ZEN DAC v2 can.
In the case of iFi ZEN DAC v2, if USB Audio - Hardware device with all software conversions is selected as the output device in Linux, MQA decoding is performed in the DAC. When it actually works, MQA Full Decoding is handled normally.
When I check the USB Device in Khadas Tone2 Pro (1.41), there is no USB Audio - Hardware device with all software conversions as in the iFi ZEN DAC v2, only the default output device.
Adding these output modes in the next firmware release would be great for Linux users. (In my case, I mainly use Squeezelite.)
thank you

Hello
Can you develop this:
“Improved encoder operation experience with a new jitter elimination algorithm”
Does this improve audio jitter?
Romain Martin
Hi Romain_Martin,
This encoder means SRBE110301, not the audio jitter., which is a knob and button for device operation.
hi all! Thanks to Khadas for the firmware, I was waiting for the HID Volume function. The question is, does this function only work when using usb input? When connecting wiim pro via coaxial input, the volume cannot be adjusted? Is this how it should be?
Hi Papalexxx,
Yes, HID volume adjustment is controlled through the USB. The audio signal of WiiM Pro is connect to the Tone2 Pro’s DAC through S/PDIF, HID volume adjustment is not supported S/PDIF input.
