The website mentions AES67, but that page hasn't been upgraded recently, so I suspect that AES192 may now be incorporated. I'll see if I can dig a little deeper.
I have messaged Leif directly, but not yet received a response. Not unusual, but I will get back to you as soon as I hear from him.
I finally caught up with Leif and can provide his response:-
AES192 means MPX output over AES at 192 KHz.
BreakawayOne cannot possibly provide AES because BreakawayOne is software. AES3 is a physical digital output format.
However, BreakawayOne provides digital MPX to the sound card. Everything BreakawayOne provides is digital — again, it's software. The sound card may in turn turn it into an analog signal, and then you have an analog MPX signal.If the sound card, rather than converting to analog, outputs a digital AES3 signal, then what you have is indeed AES192. But, BreakawayOne has no idea that that's what it's doing.
Thanks for that clarification. I have a USB sound card which does operates at 192khz and has an AES3 output so I will try it.
It is Asus Xonar U7. I see on other forums that the Asus U5 has been used to output AES192 for Nautel exciters.
From Leifs explanation I understand that it's all in the selection and setting of the output device.Many thanks for following up with him.
Hi,
These Asus cards you have quoted do not have an AES output, only S/PDIF which is the domestic format as opposed to the professional AES format. It is usually possible to convert from one to the other with an appropriate adaptor although the cable range will be much shorter over S/PDIF than AES. Most but not all AES equipment will decode S/PDIF without problem.
S/PDIF is notmally carried over a 75 Ohm coaxial cable with RCA connectors whereas AES is a 110 Ohm 3 core cable with XLR connectors.
BA One can indeed send MPX to the digital port of a card with a 192Khz digital output.
