[QUOTE="Scott Bolt, post: 131448, member: 3950"] Re: New Midas M32 Console I couldn't make out the X32 chips; however, it looked like most of the components were the same, but in a slightly different layout with respect to position. The X32 uses a Cirus Logic A/D and D/A from what I have read. I haven't cracked mine open to verify. I don't know it for a fact, but I would speculate that the CPLD ([COLOR=#333333]XC95288) is being used for implementation of the AES50 protocol considering that it is mentioned as part of the S16 literature and the chips proximity to the D/A chip. The other possibility is that the CPLD is being used as a digital processor to the output circuit. This idea really doesn't sit well with me as an engineer and I can't see why anyone would put such a design in place considering the capabilities within the SHARC processor they are using (which is a much better way to do any DSP). I could be wrong of course.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
