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.
