Hello there,

I'm quite intereste in having HDMI input/output capability with analog output, but at the same time it would be interesting to keep the USB input capability.

Since I already own the UDAC8, is there any chance you can sell an upgrade package in order to have hdmi input/output + parametric eq (so in the end a full nano avr HDA, but with usb input from pc)?

I have another friend, owner of UDAC8, which have the same necessity, so 2 of them will be surely ordered.

Thank you for the support.

Hi, does your computer have an HDMI output?

It does, but I would prefer keeping the capability of connecting it via USB (paul pang usb card powered by linear power supply). But indeed I will try HDMI and hear the difference (if any).

@ Marco,

It's a good idea but unfortunately the boards insides are quite different.. Also, the nanoAVR doesn't have I2S in to make this work.. (i.e. you need a DSP board somewhere in that mix with 8ch I2S input).

unfortunately we don't have that configuration.. (i.e. USB audio + HDMI + 8ch out).

Jsut for info: in case I'm buying the AVR HDA, it she audio return channel working?

Explaining my need: I will have to connect the htpc to one input and SKY satellite box to the other one. Then I will connect hdmi out to the hdmi in of my television (LG OLED 55eg920v) with ARC. Of course all analogs out will be connected to my preamp. With htpc and sky of course there will be no need of the ARC funcion, but if I'm using the app on the television itself (like neflix) will I hear any sound passed through analog out (of course the tv will be set as linear pcm)?

Unless your Sky box is different to mine, just checking that you know you will have to change the Sky HDMI output to be stereo when connected to the nanoAVR.
Sorry, but cannot answer the ARC question.

Hi decapitate85,
any update? Did you receive the Nano AVR HDA and test vs. the U-DAC8?

I'm also interested in the Nano AVR HDA and very curious....
