Re: Tentlink mod

Hi Pooge,

You wrote: Now, if there is such a thing a universal transport that would use the same clock module as the DAC so we can swap the module from the DAC to the transport in going from step 2 to step three, that would be really peachy!

I get a little confused when I read all the names of the products on the Tent site; there seems to be a lot of "X" in them. However from reading the info on the TentLink on Guido's site it appears that you can do just what you said. When going from step 2 to step 3 you move the VCXO module from the DAC to the transport. So you can go from 1 to 2 to 3 without any left over parts. Check the link below.

You wrote: Does your base DAC have a second clock that is removed for the Tent, or is the Tent inserted as an addition?

The way the basic Tent XO-DAC works on the RAKK DAC is as follows: The basic RAKK DAC has a clock line from the CS8416 to the PCM1794. This trace has a point where it can be opened. When you go from 1 to 2 you open this point and connect the clock from the CS8416 to the XO-DAC. The de-jittered clock from the XO-DAC goes to the PCM1794.

The RAKK DAC is laid out such that the XO-DAC width and length and mounting holes match. The power, input and output points are positioned over each other so that you can mount the XO-DAC on the RAKK DAC and run short wires straight between them.
