Image of FreeDSP OCTAVIA

Overview

The Octal output features inspired FreeDSP OCTAVIA to its name. This uses Analog Devices ADAU1452 or ADAU1466 DSP for Standalone Audio processing. An USBi-compatible programmer or TCPi via Raspberry-Pi's I2C port path is provided for DSP/EEPROM programming. The Raspberry-Pi is just an option, so if you do not need it, you can leave it and program the DSP/EEPROM via the USBi Connector.

Output Sections:

The output can configure the following types...

  • 8ch Balanced output for XLR-Connector
  • 8ch RCA-pin Differential Output
  • 8ch Unbalanced RCA-pin output

Input section

Various source capabilities are as follows...

  • RCA-pin Analog Input (Unbalanced)
  • Optical(TOSLINK) S/PDIF Digital Audio Input
  • Coaxial S/PDIF Digital Audio Input
  • Amanero Combo384 or compatible USB-I2S Input Slot
  • Raspberry-Pi 40pin I2S Audio and I2C Interface
  • Extra I2S Input header for the future extension
