PecanPi® Implementation, Spec, & Test Results

Implementation

DAC Chips

Dual flagship Burr-Brown PCM1794As in monaural mode

Digital HW Volume Control and Re-clocking

  • Crystek CCHD-575 oscillator — ultra-low clock jitter of 82fSec
  • SRC4193 for volume control

S/PDIF Receiver

Cirrus Logic CS8416 (starting at DAC rev 3.0)

Output stage

True balanced dual differential output stages, using OPA1612s, low noise Panasonic resistors, and proprietary filtering topology.

Ultra-low Noise Linear Power Supplies
