Amy "Kryptos" sound system by Troika NG

[Troika]

Troika NG would like to announce that we have chosen a fine industry standard AC97 codec, the AD1888 manufactured by Analog Devices, marketed under the Soundmax® brand.   The sound codec is used in our Project “Prometheus"/ Amy’05.

This fine device brings many features (including AD’s special filters) used in Asus motherboards and Creative products etc.to the Amiga community.

In our design we use 6 audio connectors to provide a full surround sound system: Front, Left side, Right side, Center, Surround Sound via audio jacks and an SPDIF output through a standard RCA connector.  We also include an internal Intel™ HD-Audio standard header for case connections and so much more!

Some technical details: “The AD1888 is a 6 channel (supporting 5.1 surround sound) AC'97 2.3 compatible codec. It features SPDIF output, variable sample rates, 20-bit DACs, and multiple stereo analog inputs along with many cost saving features including: integrated headphone amplifiers, selectable microphone inputs with built-in preamplifiers, jack sensing (with auto-topology switching), hardware channel spreading and downmixing, as well as crystal-free operational modes.”

PDF’s are available on the Analog Devices web site, however we have made available the PDF http://troikang.com/DL/AD1888.pdf on our website.

@ amije

>>>and dosn't exist too, as ''yours'' amyppc?<<<

Sorry, but Amy(s) do exist.  We will be releasing more detailed information next week before BB4.

I know you can't make BB4, but make sure to tune into the video/audio of the show....Ian, plans on being there to talk to about the features of Amy etc.

@ mongo
>>>How are you planning on connecting the AD1888 to your motherboard when, according to the specifications on your web site, you don't have an AC97 controller? <<<

Ok, we only have listed on our web site Ver. 1.1 of the Prometheus/Amy'05.  We went back and upgraded the design, locked it in at Version 1.4, and now are bringing everyone up to speed with the new parts(southbridge), features etc.

@ humppa
>>>You have already stated several times that the design is "locked in", but in fact it never was.
Your above statement is also contradicting with a statement that you recently made on Amigaworld, where you said that you might still make changes to Amy, based on the feedback you get at BB4 <<<

There is not conflict in the two statements. Let me clarify.

Hypothetically, the users might find the pci slots ugly in white, so we make the change to black pci slots.
