The PCB house unfortunately made a mistake with the impedance control on the Replay boards. They have re-made them now and they are on the way to Beijing where I can rescue them. The Chrontel DACs have also arrived at the distributor and are making their way here. Some other parts I am still waiting for however. I have been playing...

Tue, 6 Apr 2010
MikeJ
I have samples of the Chrontel DACs so I've decided to push on and build a few boards at least now. I've updated the schematic and layout drawings in the previous post and told the PCB house to re-process and complete the boards.

The RevB Replay PCB respin is taking shape. The main reason for doing this is to fix a Chrontel power issue. I've taken the opportunity to move the connectors to one side, and it has composite/SVHS output on the board as well now. The power has moved to the back,as if the card is in a mini-itx case you can...

First of all, Happy Christmas and New Year to everyone. Wow, another month has gone by already. This ASIC project I am working on has had some last minute hiccups, and I am still very busy working on that. Mid Jan will see it done I hope, and I am going back to China then. So, the aim now is to get...
