Re: 3x PCI Card PC Build Win11 LGA1851 265k i7ultra

Hi @freaked5 Great to see you got this working as no one had seemed to post experience with PCIe-PCI adapters
I have built a New Win 11 PC also but so far No scope.

I've been running a fanless streacom FC10 case for a decade and have limited the cpu of this new build to long and short term power to ...

Re: Pcie to PCI adapter

ANYone tried this? So many naysayer purists here.
I just built my new PC after 10 years of the last system and it has no PCI. Older systems are just slow. Not saying that an older system cant work with the great scope DSP, but there's a lot a fast CPU can do in a modern DAW.
If we cant adapt a ...

Re: Luna - Left Output Dead

Although the existing caps are surface mounted, there are also holes on each connection where they could be mounted through the board.

Re: Luna - Left Output Dead

Ok so I have the caps off but I dont think I can swap them as the way they are soldered from the top and underneath the cap itself makes it very difficult to solder or see if it is soldered properly. Also the legs dont fit the hole spacing to solder in the traditional way through the holes. I think ...

Re: Luna - Left Output Dead

Are you meaning the four small metal cased caps running along behind the I/O sockets on the underneath of the board? or maybe just two of them by the output socket?
should i just unsolder and resolder? or just heat uo and reflow the solder?
If this is even what you mean

Re: Luna - Left Output Dead

@valis @garyb. Yes TRS y cable to 2 mono Output 1 and 2. This is the first thing i tried and made up a new custom y cable.
I even wired an open plug and connected wires. Also all my plugs test with meter correctly.

So connecting directly to the solder behind the output socket (as mentioned by ...

Re: Luna - Left Output Dead

@astroman Thanks for the answer. I will check the bottom of the board.
It did not hasppen in a session. Its not used much. The trs output cable generally stays unmoved and plugs into an amp for monitoring.
The zlink and A16 ultra stll work.

Luna - Left Output Dead

Hi
Dug out the old Luna card and been using on Win 10 for a few months and i pulled up some old songs to mix.
Running well, even on lowest latency setting.

Left Output Channel just stopped working and cannot figure out if the card has died.
Both chanels show meters on my daw (reaper) and scope ...

Re: What USB DAC's work with A16 ultra via adat?

Thanks. Yep sorry the zlink just looks like FireWire...

Is adat compatibility an ongoing thing? Searching I find lots of discontinued products?

What USB DAC's work with A16 ultra via adat?

Hi. I have been away from recording for a long while - over a decade. I used to run a creamware Luna Ii and zlink adapter via PCI to the A16 ultra.

I still have all of these but cannot get Luna working with current PC. I think it's best in my situation to maybe go for another system (sorry I did ...
