Hi
I have been very involved with home audio for the last 10 years. System is all digital with Tact TCS3, Boz 216/2200 amps and home made open baffle line arrays. Front end is mainly Slimdevices Transporter and Oppo 95 modded by Audiocom.

I bought some mods from Audiocom over a year ago for my Transporter and am trying to have them installed:
Superclock 4 /11.2896
Bybee Music Rail 2A Positive
Super-regulator 3.3V
Super-regulator 5.0V

Hi

This is a repeat post from the Welcome forum where it may not have been seen by some of you - any help would be appreciated.

regards

Jose

I do not know what the voltage requirement for the Superclock4 is - there are two open label boxes on the back showing 3.3V and 5V but neither is marked.
Can anyone advise me as to what voltage I should use in the Transporter for the SUperclock4.
I have emailed Mark at Audiocom about this numerous times as well as asking for instructions for the regulator installation but unfortunately have had no reply.

Any advice would be appreciated

regards

Jose

Transporter like the SBII and Classic are 3.3v. You can use 5v as well but you have to shunt the clock output with a 100 Ohm resistor to lower the voltage.

The Bybee sounds like its for the main 5v input rail and the 5 and 3.3v regulators for the DAC and analogue output circuits.

Should have added the shunt resistor goes from the clock-in pad on the motherboard to a convenient earth location for 5v clock use not across the crystal pads...

this thread can now be closed

Hi Jose - we don't close threads normally unless there's an exceptional reason - someone else may come along with a similar enquiry in the future, for instance. Glad you are sorted, though! :)

Thanks Alex

What I should have said is that I had gotten the information I required rather than closing the thread :)

Thanks Neal

I had seen this but it was for the Duet which has a different board to the Transporter. The clock voltage was also not mentioned.
