[Elecraft] Planning the next filters

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

I have — or rather, had —  a U7.  It’s a nice interface, worked well, save for one thing.  I left it hooked up for a few hours one afternoon,  and while I was off doing something else it apparently failed and tried to draw enough current that it fried a USB port and other goodies on my Mac.  No clue why, but I relegated it to the “lessons learned” pile.  Had to have the MacBook Pro logic board swapped out, which is no small thing.

What matters is the quality of the A/D and the analog electronics, and that's where the Signalink falls down.  Higher bit rates and depths DO matter when using an interface for a spectrum display.  N8LP has long recommended the ASUS Xonar U5 and U7 for use with his LP-Pan, although I've heard of hardware failures with the U7.
