Title: Inside the ADS RDX-150-EF USB interface
Post by: BSD2000 on December 09, 2011, 10:34:56 PM

I just picked up a cheap USB recording interface, an ADS RDX-150-EF for $14. It uses a Burr Brown PCM2902E AD/DA chipset and a TI OPA4374A op-amp. It's a very simple design with only three main components. Here's a few pictures:
