Installation 

 

The 5V voltage for USB connectors and for the USB chipset & clock 
can be supplied from the computer connecting the J6 LP4 to the 
computer’s power supply. However, it is highly recommended to 
connect a clean 5V/1A external power supply via the J3 power jack 
(The jack is 2.1/5.5 mm) – this is recommended even if a USB 
DAC/USB DDC doesn’t require 5V via USB port. The 5V voltage is 
additionally filtered by low noise LDOs on the JCAT board and 
only clean voltages are applied to the USB controller & clock. 
The power selection configuration is described in Table 1. The 
jumpers on the card are configured to use external PSU by 
default. If a USB DAC/USB DDC does not require 5V via USB ports, 
it is recommended to remove all jumpers from the card for best 
performance.
