What the heck is the 'music system'? Is that a technical term for some part of their DAC?
IF, and I can only guess, the 'music system' is somewhere downstream from the USB receiving (XMOS, CLOCK, ETC.) circuitry, that's one thing.
Why don't they say?
USB > I2S should logically have its own PS not the PS from the USB cable and that output might be a candidate for optical isolation to everything downstream but where is this 'music system' they speak of.
Perhaps they have a block diagram somewhere in their literature?
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
