Schematic Bring-up Notes — First Pass
Current architecture decision
The NJW1191/NJW1194 analog tone-control branch has been replaced by the ADAU1701 DSP tone module as the primary and only tone-control path. The premium analog volume stage remains the MUSES72320.
Current intended signal path:
Input RCA → OPA2134 input buffer → ADAU1701 DSP EQ/tone/loudness/crossover → MUSES72320 analog volume control → OPA2134 output buffer → Output RCA
What was captured
- Project renamed to Modular High-End Audio Preamp.
- First-pass modular schematic structure added for:
- OPA2134 input buffer
- ADAU1701 DSP tone path
- MUSES72320 volume controller
- OPA2134 output buffer
- CH32V003 MCU control placeholder
- RCA L/R input and output connectors
- Initial decoupling capacitors and named power rails
Deprecated hardware
- NJW1191/NJW1194 exact usable Flux library parts were not found.
- The relay A/B selector path is no longer part of the intended design. K1 and K2 are marked excluded from BOM/PCB because direct component removal was blocked by a schematic graph issue.
- Any remaining NJW placeholder nets should be ignored or cleaned in a future schematic hygiene pass; they are not part of the active intended signal path.
Important implementation notes
- ADAU1701 support circuitry is incomplete. Required next items include clock/crystal, PLL loop filter, FILTA/FILTD/CM capacitors, ADC_RES resistor, ADC input coupling/scaling, reset/selfboot strapping, and 1.8 V regulator details.
- MUSES72320 support circuitry is incomplete. Required next items include reference capacitors, zero-cross reference wiring, address/control strapping, and confirmation of analog/digital reference handling.
- The MCU is a practical placeholder for control IO. Final selection may change depending on display, firmware ecosystem, and whether USB/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth are wanted.
Review state
A first ERC pass has been run. Remaining warnings are expected for the incomplete DSP/MUSES support circuits and deprecated selector/placeholder remnants. These should be resolved during the next schematic refinement pass before PCB layout.
