Digital Drive Daphile is a ready-to-use hardware solution. Powerful and effective, it combines the functions of network drive and digital interface. This is the perfect tool to enjoy music through tansparent and detailled a digital stream. The streamer can be controlled remotely with a smartphone or any device that can run a web browser .

The player comes without any operating system. It natively supports Daphile, contrarily to most Raspberry Pi-based streamers. Naturally, it can run wide variety of different other software solutions. The Up Board also has its own internal memory which exempts the user from micro-SD cards.

HECATE interface with galvanic isolation

Compact and sober, the Daphile Digital Drive is primarily a very efficient audio source.

The device combines the power of an Intel® Atom ™ processor x5-Z8350 with the precision of an asynchronous SPDIF interface HECATE. The latter is equipped with a USB chip XMOS Xcore 208, a Xilinx processor with dedicated audio algorithm and high precision clocks Crystek CCHD-575-25. The HECATE also benefits from a double galvanic isolation interface that refines the audio precision while easing power-supply process.
This fine conception considerably lowers jitter (<4.6ps) and protects digital outputs from supply noise. Used in conjunction with a Board Up card without fan (as is the case here), the set meets all the conditions for issuing a digital stream of great finesse that will highlight all the qualities of the DAC.

High fidelity Connection

USB / SPDIF interface provides an output on Coaxial S/PDIF 75Ω, 24bit / 192kHz max port.

There is also an HDMI I2S output via LVDS which also takes advantage of the Hecate's isolation for maximum noise reduction. The Daphile Digital Drive and enjoys a 384kHz 32bit digital output and DSD 256 .This allows the DDD to work with very efficient DACs models without degrading the readability of the signal. Under its apparent simplicity, the device is entirely equipped for high-fidelity.

In addition, four USB A female ports allow the playback of audio files stored on external devices (USB key, external hard drive ...) and a 1GB RJ45 port supports network connection (required for functionality network drive ).
