Re: Soekris Dam Dac

i am just returning to my shelved 1121 project. I put it on hold early last year in the hope that Nigel was going to attack his and give us mere mortals a guide on what to do but alas this has not happened. Has anyone modified one yet, on the lines of the mods made to the 1021? I'm comfortable with ...

Re: Soekris Dam Dac

i know development on this thread has mostly died (maybe all threads/forums) but i stumbled across some of these i got a while back to provide a differential clock signal for the dam for those of us that think the stock adjustable clock is probably not a great idea.....

Re: Soekris Dam Dac

smaller than i thought Mine is wired up with basic supply and has been running in for the last few days. Waiting to see what Nigel does before I start modding! I really don't want to trash this one. Interested to know where Nigel finds are the optimal points to inject the battery power supplies and...

Re: Soekris Dam Dac

I give up. I've triple checked everything and can find nothing amiss. I have tried using different firmware, with and without input isolators, and can not get anything on the output. Its almost as if there is a 'mute' switch on! I must have damaged something, but all the voltages check ok, the FPGA ...

Re: Soekris Dam Dac

@val33 any luck? Yes and no, mostly no. I eventually found a minute stray ball of solder caught in the legs of U39. Removing this has got uManager working again. I have reloaded the software and have full communication with the DAM, but still no output. I get flashing LED on startup and it goes sol...
