Yes it has its own clock but it can also accept an external clock (necessary for MSB Pro ISL for example). For custom I2s applications we can probably design something which can both accept external clock as provide its own clock.

Hello Emile, how much power does the battery charger draw when in use/listening?
Thanks

Well noted! I've been absent from WBF for a while to focus on Support via other channels but I'm in the process of updating the Olympus documentation as we speak.

About 60 watts during normal use, in a user configurable 6 hour window this increases to 90 watts. If you leave it unpowered for a longer period of time it will use 120 watts to recharge for 4-6 hours.
Do you experience the SQ impacts from being unpowered like in the Extreme? The common wisdom is that an Extreme takes a full week to get fully back on song after being powered down. What is the case for the Olympus (a for the I/O)?
Hi Emile, if I use Olympus XDMI AES output to my Vivald upsampler, DAC and clock, will my clock still work and lock to my upsampler and DAC without locking to Olympus? With extreme USB output, it’s working. However, I am not sure if it will work with XDMI AES.
Thanks.
Which means it will need to be charged all the time while listening?
Jeff,
I'm obviously not Emile and I don't have an Olympus (yet) but I have a dCS Vivaldi DAC and Clock and used to have an Upsampler. If you have the dCS Clock connected and you've selected the dCS clock as the clock source in the settings for Upsampler and DAC, that is where it will stay. The equipment will not "auto-sense" or otherwise use some other clock signal from a source, even if that other clock signal is present.
Hope this helps,

If one goes on a vacation for a couple of weeks and would shut-down the system completely: Would that „hurt“ the battery longevity? Would it be recommended to recharge the batteries fully before unplugging or are do they not care if charged or fully depleted?
Thank you
What is the second battery powering than ?
( if used Olympus + Olympus IO)
Internal storage?
Or
Each battery powering one pci exp card ?
I understand there are no changes in IO having 2 additional batteries supplying network + pci card
And
Xdmi + DAC + pci card
No
The I/O takes around 6 hours to fully charge, outside that window it uses 5 watts or so.
No. But they’ll be fully depleted when you return. UNLESS you use the remote app to put them in “shipping mode”, which disables both the in and output, then the batteries will keep their charge indefinitely. I guess we could add a “Vacation mode” menu option but that will then do exactly the same as “shipping mode”.
If you just let it run unpowered / deplete the batteries, you will need to let it recharge for a couple of hours before you can use it again. 1-2 hours before you can boot, about 6 hours for full SQ.
1 battery powers the whole system, 1 battery powers the interface cards. No changes to the I/O.
Super sweet! That has been a constraining aspect with the Extreme. Glad it will be essentially gone.No

Also no long burn in period, 3-5 days and you’re 95% there.
Well beside the galvanic isolation by means of batteries its also triple regulated and has 5 filtration stages. Although 100% immunity does not exist its about as immune as it gets, let’s call it 98%

This is one of the most important things to me. Bad power impacts very significantly my listening pleasure. Midnight is the best time to go and listen.
Also are the components powered together isolated (filtered) from each other?
Like those 2 pci express cards in the main Olympus being on one battery could be filtered from interfering each other by using your technology from the DC distributor.
And they could have a separate voltage regulators.
Just curious how this is optimized.
