When will the new "slice" for multichannel DSD be released? I would like to buy this board ASAP. So yes, you could start with either of these designs and add multi-channel at a later point via firmware upgrade.Ĩ months have passed since you informed me about the development of the multichannel DSD addon for the xCORE USB sliceKIT ( ). The source code for the L16 (USB AUDIO 2.0 MULTICHANNEL REFERENCE DESIGN) and MFA designs are 99% shared - with extensions for board support (DAC setup etc) and config defines for channel count, feature enabled etc.
And use the audio source code of the MFA to add stereo DSD support to the USB AUDIO 2.0 MULTICHANNEL REFERENCE now? And add the the new multi-channel DSD firmware when the development is done? Would it be possible to start our development now with the USB AUDIO 2.0 MULTICHANNEL REFERENCE DESIGN together with our own DSD CODEC. Is multichannel DSD for the "XMOS USB Audio 2.0 Reference Design" in development? And is there a new MFA board with Multichannel DSD in development? Since the name is xk-usb-audio-u8-2c, 2c suggest 2 channels and the board has just been released. xchips Active Member Posts: 51 Joined: Wed 8:08 am. From what I understand this means stereo only. But because Windows 10 supports USB audio 2.0 natively, and I understand it supports 384kHz, you should probably try to use the native Windows 10 USB audio driver. The current "XMOS USB Audio 2.0 Reference Design" has "Supported options" for "DSD_CHANS_DAC": 0 or 2. Is the MFA firmware usable for the multichannel reference design board (and with the XS1-L16-128) with minor customizations?
What is necessary for multichannel DSD support? Do we need to write custom code for this? Our goal is to support multichannel PCM and DSD. With the CODEC you meant only the DAC chip, so the XMOS chip itself(XS1-L16-128) - and the multichannel reference design board - is compatible with DSD? If this is the case then this won't be a problem because we use an external DAC-board so we will tap the i2s / DSD lines. MFA only supports stereo, from what I can understand.Īny information about this subject is welcome and will be much appreciated! I saw the MFA board, but my goal is to build an multichannel DAC with DSD support. Or will the MULTICHANNEL REFERENCE DESIGN be updated with DSD compatibility in the near future? Is there something that I am missing? Is there any documentation available about multichannel reference design DSD support? If this is correct then all other information that I find under the "Documentation and downloads" of the Multichannel reference design seems to be outdated.Īre the new MULTICHANNEL REFERENCE PCB's shipped with a new, DSD compatible, firmware? ltichannel ) I can't find any information about DSD.īut at "Documentation and downloads" > USB Audio Class 2.0 Driver for Windows Overview (USB-Audio-2.0-Driver-for-Windows-Overview(2.0).pdf ) I read that the multichannel reference design board is fully compatible with native DSD and DoP. Is the USB AUDIO 2.0 MULTICHANNEL REFERENCE DESIGN compatible with native DSD or/and DoP?Īt the description (.
