Question about wiring Up2Stream Pro + DAC + IR board

[JRPedrosa]

Hi. I’m trying to set a multiroom system at my home and I thought I would need to save money until my 60’s to pay for it. That was when I came across Arylic Up2Stream Pro board.

I’ve purchased two boards which will be connected through ethernet cable and also I’ve purchase a DAC board to improve sound quality and an IR Board since they will be hidden and it will be a pain to access to it to turn it on and off.

I’ve read through the forum and I found a topic where someone said that to connect the DAC expansion board to the Up2Stream Pro, there’s only needed to use the 7 pin wire supplied. Nevertheless the pin ID on the back of the board doesn’t match.

Is there anyone who has gone through it and can give me some advice? I don’t want to supply incorrect voltage and fry my new toy.

Regarding the IR pins, I think some soldering is going to be needed. Are the ones needed to connect the ones I mark in the picture?

Hi,
This has been discussed previously, the cable is correct.

Up2Stream Pro V4 + DAC expansion board viring diagram

Hi! A just bought Up2Stream Pro V4 and DAC expansion board for it. If using the cable from DAC board box for connection DAC to Up2Stream, pin marking “VC3.3V” in DAC board will be connect with pin marking “VCC_5V” in Up2StreamPro . Is it correct!? Why you cant explain viryng diagram in user manual in expansion board for connection to Up2Stream Pro/Mini? Thanks!

Hi Steve1.

That was the post I was referring in to in my coment.

I’ll try to connect the board and the DAC through a Fosi BT10D amp + mission speakers and see how it goes (my NAD amp is under repair now).

I also bought an S50 PRO+. Once it arrives I will compare the sound of both of them. I think there shouldn’t be any difference. Has anyone try them out already?
