AUDIOPHONICS I-Sabre DAC ES9023 TCXO

Hi All,

I have an AUDIOPHONICS I-Sabre DAC ES9023 TCXO http://goo.gl/BP8bXZ which came with this TCXO installed: TeraDAC 50.000000 MHz 1PPM TCXO. I got a second TCXO with the board stating: Audiophonics 50.000MHz TCXO 0.5 PPM http://goo.gl/6ecrBk. Would it make a difference to solder the 0.5 PPM one on the board or would that not deliver any noticeable difference/improvements?

As I understand from other posts I need to select the Hifiberry I2S driver. Would that remain the same or is this totally unrelated?

Regards

Hi EvilUnicorn,

Yes, change it. A 0,5PPM crystal is more stable - so the sound will become cleaner.

This won’t change anything in the way you configure the driver.

Hello!

I can’t find the 50MHz, 0.5ppm, but the 50MHz, 0.1ppm is available. Is this 0.1ppm oscillator better than the 0.5ppm?
I have the Sabre ES9023 DAC for Raspberry Pi.
