ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8 project

[Tim Curtis]

Hi Tim, I read that. My question is not about building the PROTODAC itself, that is documented in great detail and the documentation is excellent!

My question is about the surrounding components that go into putting together a complete DAC device inside a chassis: PSU, reclockers, Rpi, display, USB module, etc.

I would be tempted to say it's the missing block diagram where each block has various options, but that could be simplifying it too much.

Creating a guide for building a complete audio device around PtotoDAC would be a considerable challenge. I think your best bet would be to read through this thread and post questions if a particular build catches your interest.

One component that some people use with ProtoDAC is a reclocker/isolator. You could investigate one of the IanCanada FiFoPi boards or there is a DAC board made by Innomaker that provides a relocked signal to its GPIO header. You just stack PtotoDAC on top of it.
