Anatomy of a PI - USB Audio quality and related issues on Pi - RaspyFi. MiniDSP. Yoyodyne Consulting/Audio Hardware/ODAC. ODAC ( Objective DAC ) What is it: The ODAC, a UAC1 DAC, is a co-design between Yoyodyne Consulting and audio blogger NwAvGuy.
The ODAC adheres to the principle of measurable performance (objective) versus subjective performance (marketing and personal bias). All claims made about the ODAC are supported by repeatable testing procedures. The ODAC is a daughter card that will mount in the ODA with a 4-pin header and mounting hardware. The ODAC may also be retrofitted internally to an O2 headphone amplifier when the rechargable batteries are removed. Alternately, the ODAC can be mounted in a small custom enclosure and used as a standalone DAC with the O2 or any amplifier that has a 2vrms LINE-IN port.
The card is built around the Tenor TE7022L UAC1 engine and the ESS Technology ES9023 24 bit DAC. Performance: Prices and Ordering: The ODAC was "Designed and Assembled in the USA" and is available now. Please contact me directly if you wish a large OEM quantity purchase for your local market. ODAC Released. CAREFREE ENJOYMENT: I’ve been listening almost exclusively to the ODAC for several weeks now and I’ve been smiling a lot—not so much at the ODAC but at the music.
When you know your audio gear is genuinely transparent it opens a worry-free window into the music. And, while I suffer from expectation bias just like everyone else, I’ve run a second blind listening test and can report the O2+ODAC held its own against the $1600 Benchmark DAC1. They both are audibly transparent. I’M NOT SELLING ANYTHING: Some have claimed because others may profit from the ODAC I’m profiting from it. But that’s not the case.
LIKE O2 LIKE ODAC: The O2 amplifier was created as a simple, low cost, minimalist design delivering 100% transparent performance into nearly any headphone. NO SNAKE OIL REQUIRED: Many audiophiles want to believe more elaborate or exotic DACs offer higher fidelity. ASSEMBLED BOARD: As explained in the ODA/ODAC and ODAC Update articles the ODAC is not DIY friendly. Objective DAC (ODAC) - XL Version. The USB powered ObjectiveDAC (ODAC) is another example of NwAvGuy's outstanding engineering experience.
Designed after the Objective principles this DAC delivers best transparent performance for an outstanding price. The ObjectiveDAC board is produced by Yoyodyne Consulting. The XL Version of this DAC comes in the same enclosure as the O2 and with its power indicator on the front making it a perfect match. It features both, 3.5mm and RCA outputs on the backside for your convenience. as extra we will supply you with an USB cable (1m) with ferrite bead free of charge. technicalities: Tenor TE7022L UAC1 engine ESS Technology ES9023 24 bit DAC USB filtered power supply line out 2vrms (Redbook standard) dynamic range of 112dB at 24bit supported sampling rates at 16/24bit: 44/44.1/96 jitter below -106dB The full technical specs can be read up at NwAvGuy's blog.
