ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8 project

[Tim Curtis]

Thanks for the great info, Tim.

The Allo Kali has status LEDs that indicate Full, Lock (blue) or Empty, the bitrate and the clock being used. Are there any status LEDs on the Q7 or MA?

Answering one of my own questions. Q7 II has output format LEDs: DSD or I2s. It also has output status LEDs : Empty and Lock
Power LED and Input LEDs for I2S, DSD or DoP.

The MA manual says to use a PCM5122 I2S device. Would the ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8 setting be used with the MA?

As of moOde 8.3.7 you would select "ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8 (FifoPiMa)" which would load the hifiberry-dacplus driver which provides Master Mode support. For < version 8.3.7 choose "HiFiberry Dac+" or "HifiBerry DAC+ Pro" both of which load the hifiberry-dacplus driver.
