HB-DAC1704 Version V2.0 (4 Or 8 DAC Option) 38470 Shadow Valley Lane Yucaipa, CA 92399-7010, USA (909) 647-7540 www.lbaudiosystems.com [email protected] HB-DAC1704 Version V2.0 (4 or 8 DAC Option) 1. Introduction Why a new DAC design? There are numerous reasons for designing this new DAC: Jitter: It is well known that jitter reduces the sound quality. Jitter can be generated anywhere in the digital chain—transport, connections, receiver, system clock, etc. You can reduce the jitter by improving the mechanics, but the electronics are also a source of jitter, too. Normally, digital audio is transported via the SPDIF, AES/EBU, USB, etc. to the digital receiver. These interfaces transport the digital signal containing both the data and clock on a single wire (differential or coaxial). The digital receiver must split the clock from the data. Even the best chips add jitter in doing this. Maintaining less than 200 ps additional jitter is difficult. A way to overcome this problem is to resynchronize the incoming clock with a clean jitter free synchronous clock. There are several possibilities to generate a synchronous clock. One way is to use a complex PLL design, however a PLL normally adds jitter in the digital receiver in doing clock recovery. Another way is to use a VCXO (voltage controlled crystal oscillator), but this would increase costs and complexity and jitter reduction is only addressed at one sample rate. A better method is to use a sample rate converter (SRC) with a fixed output frequency generated by a TCXO (temperature compensated low jitter crystal oscillator). The input frequency to the SRC is variable. This means the sample rate is variable (here from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz). This concept reduces the jitter nearly to the jitter of the oscillator plus the jitter of the output stage of the SRC. If you add resynchronization after the SRC, jitter is further reduced. Here this is done by D type flip-flops which are clocked by the TCXO. Digital filtering: For easy analogue filtering normally an 8x oversampling filter is used. But these filters add pre- and post-ringing to the signal. The sound is not so precise and clear. The sound can be slushier. In the HB-DAC1704 no traditional oversampling filters are used. Upsampling is done by a very precise interpolation in the SRC and no down-sampling filtering is needed when using the direct down- sampling feature of the high end chip (SRC4392) from Texas Instruments. DAC: Here the very best R-2R DAC is used (PCM1704U-K). The advantage of a R-2R DAC versus a sigma-delta DAC is a much better resolution of small signals. This becomes very apparent in audio when the music is quieter and more complex. When the music is louder the ears distortion is grows and effects like sound masking occurs. The HB-DAC1704 is available with either two or four DACs per channel to reduce noise and THD. Paralleling DACs also provides greater linearity. The DACs can work in single- ended (parallel) or in balanced configuration. The balanced configuration gives better noise immunity (common mode rejection). Dual Operating Modes: Two switchable operating modes are available, SRC and NOS. The SRC mode converts (upsamples) the incoming signal sample rate to a higher fixed sampling frequency of 210.9 kHz. The signal is then directly down-sampled and resynchronized for input to the PCM1704 DACs. The NOS (non-oversampling) mode performs only a lossless format conversion of the digital signal in passing it to the PCM1704 DACs. For the AES/EBU/SPDIF inputs, the clock is taken from the digital receiver to clock the DACs directly. For the I2S input, the clock is taken from the low-jitter system clock. In the NOS mode, the jitter directly depends on the quality of the SRC4392 AES/EBU/SPDIF receiver or the quality of the I2S signal. In total these advantages create a very precise and clear sound. Other features included are the two AES/EBU/SPDIF balanced inputs isolated with a transformer and selectable ground connection and an I2S input. A very low noise power supply/regulator delivering ± 5V at 240mA is needed for the HB-DAC1704. It should have low noise in the lower frequency range below 1kHz. LBAudio offers very high quality I/V converters/filters and power supplies/regulators. These discrete JFET/MOSFET amplifiers offer very high resolution with the small amplitudes these DACs produce.

Connection Diagram Page 3 38470 Shadow Valley Lane Yucaipa, CA 92399-7010, USA (909) 647-7540 www.lbaudiosystems.com [email protected] 3.1 Power The board is delivered with a power connector with colored cables. Connect RED to +5V, Blue to -5V and BLACK to Ground. The board will be destroyed if it is connected incorrectly. (The plug can only be connected one way.) Be sure that the voltages are in the specified range (+/-5V, +/-5%). There is no guarantee for reversed power connections! 3.2 AES/EBU/SPDIF Inputs The digital audio receiver offers balanced inputs RX+ and RX–. The two AES/EBU/SPDIF inputs have signal isolation transformers. There is an option to ground the two RX– inputs between the transformers and the receiver. The ground jumper for an AES/EBU input should NOT be installed. For SPDIF input, the jumper should be installed. Figure 1 shows the simplified input schematic for AES/EBU/SPDIF. The AES/EBU input is terminated with 110 Ohm while SPDIF is terminated with 75 Ohm. Inputs can optionally be two each AES/EBU, two each SPDIF, or one of each. Figure 1 -- Input Connection 3.3 I²S Input The I²S input is a low voltage (3.3V) digital input. The BCK, LRCK, and SDATA should be driven with a damping resistor (100 Ohm). The BCK should also use a high quality coax cable. LRCK and SDATA signals are not so critical but a good cable termination should be used. 3.4 Analogue Out The user can choose between a balanced current output or a single-ended (unbalanced) current output. This would allow four DACs per channel for the eight DAC version and two DACs per channel for the four DAC version. With the Balanced/Single-ended Mode Jumper connected, both channels are in balanced mode. Analog Output connector Pin 1 is the Iout + and Pin 3 is the Iout ̶ . Without jumper connected, the two DAC chips are working in parallel. Both Pin 1 and Pin 3 are Iout + and should be connected together. 3.5 Control Interface A control board having two pushbuttons and 4 LEDs is required to control the board. Paragraph 4 provides a function description. Connect the second pins of the pushbuttons to ground (pin 8 and 9). The anodes of the LEDs must be connected to the connector pins with the cathodes connected to ground (pin 8 and 9). This is shown in figure 2. Page 4 38470 Shadow Valley Lane Yucaipa, CA 92399-7010, USA (909) 647-7540 www.lbaudiosystems.com [email protected] Figure 2 -- Control Interface 4. Functional Description Most of the functionality is explained in the introduction and can be studied in the block diagram. The microcontroller (uC) is normally in total power down mode. No asynchronous clock from the uC disturbs the signals. The DACs power supplies are decoupled with low ESR ceramic and high quality electrolytic capacitors having more than four times the value as specified in the datasheet. The critical oscillator is a special very low jitter temperature compensated oscillator and has its own discrete power supply to further reduce the jitter. The PCB is a 4 layer design to improve digital impedance requirements and to reduce the overall noise and crosstalk. See the noise specs at the end of this instruction. 4.1 uC Functionality The main function of the uC is to initialize and configure the SRC4392, to select the different inputs, and to operate the LED display of selected functions. 4.2 Function Select The two pushbuttons operate as follows: • Channel Select (PB1). Each push of the pushbutton changes the input channel with the default sequence being AES/EBU/SPDIF channel 1, followed by AES/EBU/SPDIF channel 2, then the I²S channel and back to the AES/EBU/SPDIF channel 1. • Non-Oversampling Mode Select (PB2). Each push on the pushbutton toggles between the NOS mode and the SRC mode. The SRC mode is the startup mode. 4.3 LED Indication Four LEDs indicates the board status.

  • Sound Masking in Patient Rooms
    Navigate to ... Navigate to ... SnoCQ eguraie: nRtuMedPin oait ontaimskgi s highprofile | May 19, 2014 | 0 Comments by Benjamin Davenny Noise levels in hospitals have become an increasing concern as more noise sources have been added to the hospital environment. These sources range from noisy medical instruments to the layout of patient rooms as they relate to the nurses’ station. Numerous studies have evaluated the impact of noise levels on the hospital environment, but few have considered the type of noise source. The sound of a fan is different from an alarm, even if they measure at the same sound levels. Without clear objectives on the type of noises studied, there is a false impression that a quieter environment is always a better one. Some of these noise sources are necessary in a modern working hospital. The trick is to take a different look at their sources and Ben Davenny develop more efficient methods to reduce disturbance to patients. The often-cited World Health Organization (WHO) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines for hospitals require low noise levels in patient rooms, precluding conversation in corridors with patient doors open. This requirement conflicts with nurses’ needs to see patients and discuss patient care. The WHO and EPA guidelines are also based mainly on transportation noise, whose character is quite distinctive and bothersome to building occupants. Introducing a constant noise source as background sound helps to reduce the impact of impulsive tonal noises such as speech. The typical background noise level can be considered a constant noise with full frequency content. These noise sources include air movement from the building’s HVAC system and cooling fans, as well as electronic sound masking systems.

  • Machine Learning Based Cyber Attack Targeting on Controlled Information
    Machine Learning Based Cyber Attacks Targeting on Controlled Information By Yuantian Miao A thesis submitted in fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology (FSET) Swinburne University of Technology May 2021 Abstract Due to the fast development of machine learning (ML) techniques, cyber attacks utilize ML algorithms to achieve a high success rate and cause a lot of damage. Specifically, the attack against ML models, along with the increasing number of ML-based services, has become one of the most emerging cyber security threats in recent years. We review the ML-based stealing attack in terms of targeted controlled information, including controlled user activities, controlled ML model-related information, and controlled authentication information. An overall attack methodology is extracted and summarized from the recently published research. When the ML model is the target, the attacker can steal model information or mislead the model’s behaviours. The model information stealing attacks can steal the model’s structure information or model’s training set information. Targeting at Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) system, the membership inference method is studied to whether the model’s training set can be inferred at user-level, especially under the black-box access. Under the label-only black-box access, we analyse user’s statistical information to improve the user-level membership inference results. When even the label is not provided, google search results are collected instead, while fuzzy string matching techniques would be utilized to improve membership inference performance. Other than inferring training set information, understanding the model’s structure information can launch an effective adversarial ML attack.

  • Hybrid Active Noise Barrier with Sound Masking
    Hybrid active noise barrier with sound masking Xun WANG1; Yosuke KOBA2; Satoshi ISHIKAWA2; Shinya KIJIMOTO2 1;2 Kyushu University, Japan ABSTRACT In this paper, a hybrid active noise barrier (ANB) with sound masking capability is considered. To protect the speech privacy, several sound masking techniques have been developed. However, these sound masking techniques based on the superposition of the masker and original sound will lead to increase in the loudness of the sound after masking. Against this problem, this paper proposes a soundproof system which combines an ANB with a sound masking system. The ANB applies a new type of hybrid active noise control (ANC) system, which can reduce the noise diffraction and the noise propagated to the ear positions of the people behind the ANB simultaneously, to attenuate the conversation sound. Consequently, the required volume of the masker sound will decrease because of the smaller loudness of the original conversation sound in the control area. The sound masking system applies a method which can generate masker based on the frequency properties of the original sound. Several simulations are carried out to investigate the sound attenuation and sound masking performance of this system, and the results show that comparing with the traditional sound masking system, the proposed system needs smaller masker sound to achieve the sound masking effect. Keywords: Active Noise Control, Noise Barrier, Sound Masking I-INCE Classification of Subjects Number(s): 38.1, 38.2 1.

This type of distortion is quite noticeable because it contributes an edgy sound to the reproduction and is annoying because it often sounds separate or disembodied from the fundamental signal. The annoyance of Rub & Buzz distortion is tied intimately to human perception of sound and psychoacoustics. To properly implement automated production-line testing of loudspeaker Rub & Buzz defects, one has to model or imitate the hearing process using a sufficiently accurate perceptual model.
