What DAC are you using?
I've had no drop outs.
(Tough it out with/for Ukraine, that's what we're all doing to some extent - although definitely not like the level at which they are for sure!).Yeah, perhaps the rate for electricity has gone up and hidden any savings. We have run-away inflation too. I chatted other peeps in Europe and they have the same dilemma. It's all over. Red meat is up maybe 35%-40% and the pasta aisle shelving is bare @ Walmart from people economizing and eating pasta. I'm pretty sure my grocery bill has gone up by ~$100+ per month. Crazy stuff.
My front Genelecs have DACs built in. For rears I'm using a topping Ex5.What DAC are you using?
I have reached out to Berkeley to find out what's behind that locking anomaly. I will post an update here if anything comes out of it.Any chance the dropout problem I had with my Berkeley DAC has been fixed? I really miss my VanityPro.
And how do you handle HDCP? The Blackmagic converters do not accept HDCP encrypted sources.I might have found a cheaper way: Blackmagic HDMI to SDI --> Blackmagic SDI to Audio (8 channels AES) converters. It can only do 48kHz LPCM, but that is all I need. The gear seems to be used in the pro market and is readily available on the second hand market. Only some cable soldering for the SPDIF conversion involved. I will ponder a bit more and then give this a shot.
Blackmagic
Yes it seems like HDCP will be an issue with the apple device. But give this a read:Or could you feed this Black magic thing with an ATV4K?
Hi there, just a quick update on the the USB Output board.And last, but not least, we have decided to design a new output board with 8-channel USB Audio Device and ASRC to not only fix the output rate, but make it controlled from the host PC via USB. This will turn the VanityPRO into a multichannel HDMI to USB Audio converter with ASRC, so anyone with multichannel PC based room processing can hook up the VanityPRO to the PC and use any USB DAC independently. Here is the preview of the board:

The link you provided appears to be the wrong LittleBear (2-into-1 or 1-into-2 models)Just got one of these so I'm not having to switch XLR cables when switching between a RasberryPi with AlloDigital output (used for roon music) and the AudioPraise (used for ATV4k streaming and MKVs)...
