Looking at the XMOS website, their top chips are Quad-Core and have 1600MIPS.

If the MIPS are comparable (and cannot see why they would not be) 1 of these could replace all 5 DSP chips that are in the current processors (and all for $20)

Hopefully these should make it faster to develope new products (and free up some time to fix old software bugs!!)

Perhaps it's the speakers? I assume this new architecture is in the 3200, so perhaps the others will gradually follow with new DSP boards.

Or why not put a card like the ID 40 in the 800 and in all devices and forget the SPDIF/AES interface and transfer (jitter free) files via the network?
But hopefully something happened here also in reality,
because there is no XMOS chip in the V6 as far I see it on my cards-
(no ID40 card)

There would be a problem with the timing across the channels if the audio was sent asyncroniously over the LAN to each DSP.

I might be possible to overcome, but I think it would be very difficult.

Carl

Async (packet) transfer is easy with Audio. But when you start to mix it with Video then you have a whole new set of problems. The Clocking in the ID40 can run independent for audio only. But with video it still has to stay in sync with Video stream. It's doable but gets more complex.

800 DVD/CD is dead. You'll be lucky if they offer trade-ins.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.

What about XMOS in the 861v6 motherboard. Something must explain the quote on 'performance enhancements in the clocking circuitry'

Don't M also make similar claims for the SL version of G68/G61R ?

"Redesigned master oscillator and clocking for reduced jitter and better imaging and localisation."

Maybe the changes are literally as described.

As per the first post the xmos is only in the ID40 Card, MS600, Control15 & the MC200 units (and I assume the nearly released MC600)

So 5 more exciting new products to come with xmos!!!

Since the programming of the XMOS chips is soo easy we get a 800v6 with blue-ray and HD-DVD support smile
Oh no i was dreaming up load again..
