^ aaw yiss! Just ordered the Tone board today + the Atom amp. Need to get this as well.
I did not, but a friend, yes...I read somewhere that you can use the gpio pins to power the toneboard and the USB C port will function as data only. Has anyone done it?
Where has the factory default firmware gone? I think, I've started having a weird issue with the DAC after upgrading to 1226. Oftentimes the sound would just stop working, with no errors. The device is showed fine in device manager and "playback devices", but it's soundless. Only when you replug it, it goes back to normal. Weird. The DAC is connected to o2/odac in pass-through amplifier mode.
@Audiophonics just released a 15€ aluminium case for the tone board: https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/alum...num-casing-for-khadas-tone-board-p-13626.html
Compatibility: Tone Board (Generic) - Khadas
Thank You, for posting this. Note, it only fits the Generic version of
the Khadas Tone Board.
Nice case for those with the Generic version of the Khadas Tone Board.
I would assume so, just as well as they have been soldered.Can the pins on the VIMS version be desoldered?
Can the pins on the VIMS version be desoldered?
Better use USB input on Khadas Tone Board.
Wouldn't the S/PDIF input be less prone to USB noise and ground loops?
Thanks
In my case, I have an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard with an optical S/PDIF out port. Wouldn't this:SPDIF doesn't seem to be transformer coupled so generally no but depends on the source.
What's this?Motherboard optical USB --> ToneBoard
LOLWhat's this?
In my case, I have an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard with an optical S/PDIF out port. Wouldn't this:
Motherboard optical S/PDIF --> Converter to coax S/PDIF --> ToneBoard
Be better than this?
Motherboard optical USB --> ToneBoard
Thanks

Edit: Fixed copy/paste abomination ("optical USB")
If you have to ask you'll probably make a mess if you try, unless you put in some practice on things like scrap PC bits first. If you know anyone with experience fixing circuit boards they could probably do it for you. You might have better luck cutting the pins short, being careful not to leave sharp edges, then covering the ends with insulating tape.
If it can help myself ordered at AUDIOPHONICS 30 December where it also was out of stock, they shipped unit 09 January and had it myself 11 January, also should you want it AUDIOPHONICS released aluminium box for TB, see @pos post 675.Where can I buy khadas tone ? I'm from Spain. it seems that nobody has stock?
Are the firmware identical??My point was that if the VIMS version isn't being used for the VIMs then removing the pins would allow it to fit in the case. The VIMs version often sells cheaper than the 'generic' one too.
I had tested with Burson PLAY the v2.24 from Khadas few weeks ago and it worked flawless, especially the DSD256 that was not working with the original Burson drivers. Just found a new version today and tried to install it, but here's what I got. Even after disabling antivirus, 7-Zip told me there's an additional payload after the end of the file, so...all signed that there's a real virus in there and not a false positive alarm. Of course, disinfecting fails, so removing the fails lets me without the driver, so couldn't test it.

I had contacted manufacturer about this from the Contact form.
