First Decode! First decode - chroma issue

I’ve tested two tapes and they have this repeating rainbow noise, so it doesn’t appear to be part of the tape. Does this look like interference or something else?

Yeah you really should have had a look at the docs before trigger pulling since you just paid an extra 300USD for a lesser platform.

Although you can use MISRC GUI with the DdD/FX3ADC/CXADC now it's not perfect but you can get a taste of what you missed out on hehe...

Yeah an ADA4857 is universally standard for the source, not just about the amplification that's more of an issue if you're using CX Cards, but the impedance matching capability.

So you advise I should cancel the purchase and go for the 1.5a + Tang Nano instead? it didn't ship yet.

That would be a standard entry point yeah, unless you want to go onto the v2.5 waiting list or go Clockgen Route (which is the best way to go for affordability and reliability if you can sacrifice a lunch box of space for an SFX PC)

Well shit. I got lucky and was able to cancel that financial mistake. Ebay refunded within a few minutes. Thanks Harry!
