    Default Single power supply with multiple Truepaths

    I want to put several Truepaths in a single box. If I power these with with a single common power supply then there will be more than one connection between the analog (5V) and power (VDD/VNN) grounds because there is one connection on each Truepath. Will I have a problem with ground loops?

    What should I do to avoid this?

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    You need to keep the AGND (analogue ground) and GND (digital ground) separated.
    I would say this may not be accomplished properly with a single powersupply. You will need at least two powersupplies.
    I would ground several units in star-ground configurations.

    Hi Tim,

    did you succeed to take out some music from a Truepath?

    Yes, I'm excited to say that I finally got music from the Truepath!

    I've decided that I am going to connect two Truepaths to my single power supply using nice thick starred earth connections and see what it sounds like.
