Am about to order SPDIF transciever which is the last piece of my DAC/ Headphone buid and I have a question regarding the switch settings on OPUS for Volumite. I believe that I understand the connections, but having read this thread and the WM8741 data sheets I am not certain of the OPUS switch settings to achieve 192khz sampling rate. I believe that the I2S is either 0 or 1 (not sure which),Mode= Z, and OSR is + (1). All other switches are floated (Z)? My Volumite has both the resistors and VR installed.
A kind assistance for an old solder slinger please.
Pete

Forgot to mention that I am using Metronome as well therefore the 192KHZ reference. Sure could use some help in this!

Hmmm it has been a while since I configured this. I will check into it. I just wanted you to know I was not ignoring you. :)

Pete When using the Volumite the 8741 is in s/w mode so the only thing that sets the sample rate is the Volumite via its two jumpers. There are definitely other posts within this sub-forum which explain those jumpers. Note that they are pulled high by default, you only need to pull them low, or not. Below are my notes for setting up the Opus (in s/w mode): Code:Sw Label Pos Pin Name Desc
1 I2S - 28 CSB/SADDR/I²S 0 = address 0011010 = 0x1A, 1 = address 0011011 = 0x1B
2 DSD Z 27 SCLK/DSD 2-wire clock
3 DEEMPH Z 26 SDIN/DEEMPH 2-wire data
4 MODE Z 24 MODE/LRSEL Z = 2-wire control mode
5 IWO Z 23 IWO/DOUT unused
6 DIFFHW - 6 DIFFHW 0 = normal, 1 = differential/hardware mode
7 FSEL Z 4 FSEL/DINR unused
8 MUTE + 25 MUTEB/SDOUT 0 = soft mute, 1 = normal
9 OSR + 22 OSR/DSDR unused

Simbloke; Thanks for the input, it appears consistant with what I have read. My concern however is what impact having Metronome in the signal chain has in this picture. Again, my questions are truly those of a non-digital guy, and may seem silly to some degree.
With regard to your data however, if OSR is unused, should the setting not be "Z"?
Needing your patience,
Pete

I believe it will be just fine to leave it open (Z)

Russ, Simbloke; Thanks to you both, as soon as the last piece arrives I will set it up and let you know.

Pete Yes, generally it would be Z but I use a pin connected to this switch to power one half of an opto-isolator. Sim

Completed assembly of DAC/ Headphone Amp but got no sound. Layout is USB(Teralink-X)-SPDIF Transciever-Metronome-Opus (With Volumite)-Ventus (Discrete). All LED's on Tranciever are green, Voltages are all in spec.
Wound up reducing the unit to USB-Spdif Tran.-Opus. Still no sound at all.USB Device is sending, All led's green, Ventus is from working unit. Suspect Opus board may be the problem but this is uncertain territory for me. Suggestions?
Pete

Please Disregard the last post---a mistake so stupid that I am ashamed to share it! So onward and upward toward completion!

When I first received Opus I noted the four caps for the output and was considering bypassing them. When I assembled all the parts (sometime later) I forgot to install them!!!!!  Have now got the unit working without Volumite which should be installed in the next few days. The opus @ high sampling rate from Metro is a sweet DAC! Pete

Finished in time for Christmas! Installed in chassis with V-Link USB-SPDIF converter it sounds great.
Merry Christmas to all!
