#70C, #70D. Amanero Combo768

We have tested many USB digital interface boards, Amanero Combo384 and Combo768 are still so far the best sound quality and most compatible one.

So we are very glad to announce that IanCanada is now the Amanero official distributor in Canada and North American.

The 2024 new released higher grade Combo768 is also first time available in North American on iancanada.ca

Combo768 Specifications:

PCM: 44.1kHz to PCM1536kHz (32bit I2S)

Native DSD : DSD64 to DSD1024

DoP: DSD64 to DSD512

Low phase noise clocks

No driver needed for RaspberryPi, Mac and PC

Most updated FW748497d firmware

Combo768 User's manual

Note：

1. To avoid any trouble, please use the #70D (or #70B) if you don't have soldering skill.

2. Be very careful when you install the connector. Shifting pins at wrong positions can cause short circuit, which can not be covered by warranty.

#70E. Amanero Combo768 with Slave Mode Firmware and Pre-Assembled Connector

The same as #70D, except that the firmware is pre-flashed to Slave Clock mode. It can work directly with ComboMaster, FifoPiUSB, or other external MCLK/reclocking solutions.

You can also flash #70D to Slave Clock mode yourself by following this step-by-step guide.

However, for normal applications, such as ReceiverPiDDC or FifoPi Q Series, please use #70D rather than #70E.

#70K. Amanero U.FL adapter

It will be highly recommended to use U.FL cables if you connect an Amanero USB directly to your DAC for a much better signal quality and lower jitter levels, especially for music higher than PCM 192KHz or DSD128.

You can also use it to feed external MCLK signals when Amanero USB works in slave clock mode.

The Amanero U.FL adapter works for both Combo768 and Combo384 with DIP connector at top side of the PCB.

Note: Please follow the picture for the installation. Please don't reverse the orientation.

#70M. ComboMaster USB MCLK/Re-clock/Isolator Upgrade KIT

ComboMaster is a dedicated isolated re-clocker with swappable external clocks. It is specifically designed for the Combo768 (in slave mode) to enhances sound quality by overcoming the limitations of the onboard clock architecture.
The ComboMaster features galvanic isolation to completely isolate the USB data signals and ground, reducing noise and interference from the USB source. It also utilizes higher performance local master clocks to re-clock the output of the Combo768, allowing the USB audio stream to benefit from them instead of the Combo768's onboard default oscillators.
As a result, the Combo768 operates using the superior external clock source, delivering improved timing accuracy, lower jitter, and enhanced overall audio performance.

Swappable External Clocks
Supports swappable 45.1584 MHz and 49.1520 MHz XO1/XO2 external clock sockets, enabling sound-quality upgrades to the Combo768 USB interface.
High-Resolution Audio Support
Supports PCM up to 384 kHz and DSD up to DSD512.
High-Speed Galvanic Isolation
Provides high-speed galvanic isolation for I2S/DSD signals.
Low-Jitter I2S/DSD Re-clocking
Features a low-jitter I2S/DSD re-clocker for enhanced digital signal quality.
Easy Plug-and-Play Upgrade
Upgrade your Combo768 USB interface simply by plugging in it to the ComboMaster upgrade board.
Combo768-Compatible Design
Features a DIP output connector and dimensions compatible with the Combo768.
Isolated 3.3V Power Supply Input
Uses an isolated, high-quality clean side 3.3V power supply input to eliminate USB EMI noise.
High-Performance Local Power Filtering
Features a high-performance local power-supply filtering network on the clean side.

XO1: 45.1584 MHz External Clock Socket

XO2: 49.1520 MHz External Clock Socket

J1: 3.3V Clean-Side Power Supply Input

J2, J3, J4, J5: I2S/DSD/MCLK Output Sockets for High-quality U.FL Coaxial Cables

M2: DIP Output Connector Compatible with Combo768

J6: Optional External MCLK Input

J7: Optional Clock-Selection Output

ComboMaster Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Note:

45.1584 MHz and 49.1520 MHz clocks are not included in the ComboMaster KIT. Any high-quality compatible user clocks with the same frequencies are good to go. For ultra-low-phase-noise clocks, please find the options available here.
ComboMaster needs to work with #70E Slave Clock Mode Combo768. But you can also flash the FW of #70C or #70D into Slave mode by yourself by following this Guidance.
