oh nice idea using these sockets for the caps, they are better than what I used... the fun part is that I do have several rows of sockets like these but I saw the other kind first and used that LOL @Great Hierophant you might be on to something, dreamblaster also noticed that the FTL adapter uses …

I have made 2 more recordings since the original Covox apparently has no capacitors , one with no capacitors at all installed on the CVX2 and the other with only the 4.7nf capacitor installed no caps: https://soundcloud.com/keropi666/serdaco-cvx2-lptdac-01-resistors-no-capacitors-crystal-dreams only …

"Trust" is a thing here too , I think they are a German company that sells chinese stuff... I would way they are a notch above chinese since they had to follow the EU safety laws to a minimum... certainly not premium products but not utter crap either.

I can't really understand atm these readings, what it strikes me as odd is that we are getting reading on the 500k~700k ohm range... isn't that too much? Maybe someone else has a better idea how to crack this.

ah I missed that... there are even details on the "DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION" part of the document. Maybe they used these resistor values in the final product?

@Beegle yes it could be a covox-specific network maybe with some different values @GH where are these patents located?
Re: CVX-2 : covox adapter
Posted on 2016-12-31, 21:06
yes, if this is a "common resistor network" then there is a single common pin and when measured against the others you should get the same resistance. Have you tried in pairs? 1+2, 3+4 , 5+6 , etc Maybe that's a special network with various resistances in it - hard to tell though without having the …

MEGA thanks for the pics, sadly all of them use the same array thingie... it is interesting that the 2nd one has pads for ICs on the back side it seems as an alternative way to assemble one or something If you own a multimeter you can try and measure resistance on the pins: http://i64.tinypic.com/ …

maybe there is still a point to open all 3 Speech Things mobygamer has - maybe an old version uses discrete components and not that array

Thanks for the pics QBiN !!! That covox-branded resistor pack is worrisome... maybe it combines resistors and caps 😐

make that 3 - dreamblaster is also interested for obvious reasons 🤣

I hope mobygamer opens his Speech Thing soon so we can have a look and find out why it sounds better so it gets copied to the CVX2 , the discussion here is getting derailed on how to make a LPT Soundblaster/Gravis/Paula/whatever equivalent...
Re: CVX-2 : covox adapter
Posted on 2016-12-31, 15:15
yes sure, if you make a DAC that costs 30eur in parts then yes *maybe* it will sound as good... let's be realistic here 🤣
Re: CVX-2 : covox adapter
Posted on 2016-12-31, 14:27
are you seriously comparing an LPTDAC device with Paula? c'mon man, this is not a dedicated DAC we are talking about, this is as simple as it gets - don't expect it to replace your soundblaster 🤣 🤣 🤣

^ Nope not glued thanfully! There are clips on the side so it's just a matter of lifting them so the shell separates . But there is no guarantee the insides are not covered with epoxy/glue - I hope they are exposed.

Nice video indeed! and there is a difference in sound too - but just to make sure you are recording with your soundcard's mixer/processing disabled right? I think you'll have to open one of these speech things 😁

nice thanks for the FTII tip Scali. Now to see how to install a 2nd LPT on my p1 build for science reasons 🤣
