This is my old experiment in November 2010.
I copied a 44.1kHz/16bit sound file into a USB memory, and played it on PS3. The optical output (SPDIF) of PS3 is fed into the optical input of Orpheus, and the data is captured using ffado and jackd.
The figure shows that the original data matches the captured data perfectly.
I thought the settings by the Control Panel is saved in the EEPROM of Orpheus when it is powered off, but I was (partially) wrong in my understanding.
According to the manual,
http://www.prismsound.com/music_recording/products_subs/orpheus/online_manual/index.html, (Contents -> Orpheus hardware -> Stand-alone operation):
When the unit is re-powered, and detects that no FireWire connection is active, it reloads the settings which were previously stored.
