PCIe can supply at least 75 watts, so more than enough for this thing. It's just lazy/cheap design. Copy & paste PCB design.

It's not native PCIe, in that it appears to be a USB based DAC design with a PCIe to USB bridge (thus the ASM1042 chip in addition to XMOS) stuck in front of it. And despite the fact it should easily be powered via PCIe in a native design, this requires power via a SATA connector. Looks like a...

No. End of thread.

Those RGB LEDs are embarrassing...

Do you need help?

Just give us the answer you cocktease.
