    (U2) has been included in the audio interface signal path to buffer the input signals when applied via header (H1) and minimise any performance degradation this may cause.. Note: The level shift IC's (U2 and U6) are set to shift from +5V to DVDD when shipped from Wolfson. BOARD OUTPUT The output interface from the board is via a coaxial (J8) digital (AES/EBU, UEC958, S/PDIF, EIAJ CP340/1201) signal output.
