FEATURES
- FORM FACTOR – Raspberry Pi ® Shield Size w/40-Pin mating connector.
- AES TRANSMITTER – The industry standard WM8804 converts the RPi I2S stream to AES3/SPDIF formatted data at 24-Bit up to 192Khz Frame Rate
- COAX OUTPUT – A 1:1 Isolation Transformer provides Bit Perfect Impedance Controlled Coaxial Transmission of the Digital Audio Data
- SPDIF OPTICAL OUTPUT – Isolated Optical Transmitter Drives Consumer Level DAC and AVR
- BALANCED OUTPUT – An RS-422 Transmitter coupled with a 1:1 Isolation Transformer allows the transmission of balanced audio data via the Professional Audio Standard XLR Connector
- DIFFERENTIAL I2S OUTPUT – A DS2063 Differential Transmitters is used to drive the I2S Bus over a standard HDMI Connector. The Pinout is Selectable Between the PS Audio and Gustard Standards.
- HIGH RESOLUTION CLOCKS – A pair of Ultra-Low Noise NDK NZ2520SDA oscillators allow the WM8804 to operate in non-PLL mode for the lowest possible noise.
- ULTRA-LOW NOISE LDO’s – Ultra-Low Noise LT3045 LDO (0.9uV noise and 80dB PSRR) is used to power the WM8804 AES Transmitter, while a 2nd LT3045 LDO powers the NDK Clocks.
- LOW NOISE PCB LAYOUT – Constructed with 4-layer Split Ground PCB with noise reduction techniques refined from years of High-Speed Mixed-Signal Design work
