asynchronous USB digital input

Retrofittable digital input for the CD player. Whether playback from CD or other formats manages via the PC, you decide by pressing a button on only one device - now finally also for the analog converters TDA1540 or TDA1541.

The retrofittable USB input consists of a decoder module and a switching module, which changes the input source between CD and digital input on the analog board in the CD player. The 14-bit module has an additional board docked to provide the 14-bit simultaneous data mode.

USB input TDA1540

The USB input receives the data secured in asynchronous transmission, which means better quality compared to a simple adaptive data transmission. An asynchronous transfer driver to be installed is included, but Apple does not need it. For both sources, USB and CD, the connection to the analog converter is then done in non oversampling.

Streaming for 14 bit TDA1540

The 14-bit switching module is used on the analog board instead of the SAA7030 chip. On the switching module is a connection for a switch to change the playback between CD or USB and also a control input, which allows source selection via the remote control module.

Streaming for 16 bit TDA1541

The 16-bit switching module is used on the analog board instead of the SAA7220 chip and is suitable for both the TDA1541 and TDA1541A. On the switching module is a connection for a switch to change the playback between CD or USB and also a control input, which allows source selection via the remote control module.
