Interesting. I hope they add Toccata emulation, so we can use it under MovieShop.

Hi,

Prisma Megamix sound card has been modified, due to customer feedback to have an optional SPDIF expansion module.

I dont see the point of a SPDIF module. There are lots of inexpensive spdif encoders and decoders which cost $20 USD including shipping (just take look in the evil bay). So I believe this module is reasonable if it costs less than $20 USD.

@spirantho
I doubt it is a full digital path for SPDIF, as the chip seems to provide only analog outputs. Unless you are doing something wicked with that built-in XilinX.

On the hardware side, you could offer something interesting with the 12 GPIO pins the DSP chip has. Maybe an expansion module that could provide a sort of Geekport or a simple series of relais for controlling fun stuff, or even a LCD module that could display some playback parameters.

The decoder provides digital output as I2S data stream at different rates.

Then I stand corrected :)

Well, need to get some pics, but the second revision hardware has digital I/Os and also some mysterious addon module in first prototype revision :) It might have to do something with SPDIF output... :)

Stay tuned. Development is ongoing, but a bit slow due to heavy NMIs from my little daughter :)

Interesting. Lets see what comes out in the end.

And kids, are definately NMIs ! ;)
