Buchalter: We have been using FireWire (and AES/SPDIF) since we began as a hardware company.
Are you incorporating new protocols into your designs? If so, which protocols are you adopting?ī.J. In both cases to allow the user to get input from a wild source device.įormats such as USB, Ethernet, AES50 and FireWire are being increasingly used for audio purposes, alongside AES3 and ADAT optical. On the 2d Card, we utilize the SRC block in the ADSP21364 for TOSLINK input. On our older products CS8420 on the AES/SPDIF I/O (with SRC available on the input). Why? Because they sound so good.Īre you using SRC parts in your designs? What parts are you using, where and why?ī.J. They are not new to the industry, but new to our products. Have you adopted any new conversion parts this year? If so, which and why?ī.J. Other factors like power and packaging are not really considered in our design process. Secondarily is noise and distortion specs, and third is latency.
Buchalter: First and foremost subjective sound quality evaluation. What criteria determine your selection of A/D and D/A conversion parts.ī.J. SMT parts are easier to source these days, generally easier to rework/service and allow for (much) higher density designs. Buchalter: Yes our designs are (and have been) almost completely surface mount we generally only use through-hole parts for bulk capacitors, transformers, connectors and other electromechanical parts (like potentiometers, encoders and switches). As a result, we have been increasing our stocking position to be less sensitive to market availability.ĭo your designs include surface mount components and is this usage increasing?ī.J. This past year we’ve had to work harder than usual to find parts when we need them. Buchalter: It is a struggle in the past we have tried to focus on suppliers that have a good track record of part availability. If there are components that you have traditionally used (analog or digital, ancillary components other than chips) that are becoming hard to source how are you adapting? What new approaches are you taking?ī.J. Unfortunately, this is always in competition with quiescent power, which is a real issue for the sorts of high-density designs we do. Buchalter: Generally in terms of noise and distortion specifications. What are they and in what areas are you seeing improvement (ease of design, performance aspects, etc).ī.J. Buchalter: Not really, although the components of the types that we have been using continue to evolve and we continually evaluate new products to see if they fit with upgrades or new designs. You onlyįorget the tab of the box you want to map TO.Īre you using different components than you have traditionally?ī.J. The point is that you don’t forget the tab of the box you want to map FROM.
