Nice work. I've just done the same thing to a SB2 also with one of TentLabs X03 clocks, with a couple of minor differences: -I bypass the HCU04 and go directly to pin 42 on the XILINK. -Rather than using a 50R/25R voltage divider to get from the X03's 5V to the needed 3.3V, I use a 100R resisitor from the clock signal to ground on the SB2 end. BTW, for this to work you need to keep the resistor leads very short. -I also take the SPDIF dirctly from the XILINK, so have take the hex buffer completely out of the circuit - in fact right off the board. Next step is to slave the the X03 clock to XO-DAC clock on my DAC for synchronous reclocking. I house everything in one enclosure so am excited about what this csn produce in terms of jitter levels. Then I'll get setup to run that jitter analysis test jlmatrat suggested. -- Jitterbug ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jitterbug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4955 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32761 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
