It was designed to eliminate the need for debate over who was the "clock master" in a studio environment where every digital device is potentially a having to generate/recover embedded clocks. This allows buffer under/overruns to be avoided and perfect synchronisation at sample level of multiple devices. Anyone who has tried to use a digital mixing desk with digital synths, FX and recorders knows that wordclock is essential - remember that these devices are invariably using a mixture of SPDIF, Toslink, AES, TDIF, ADAT LP etc etc...
I agree that having a transport driven by a wordclock master in the DAC is good general practice. However, I don't think that the benefit is lower overall jitter at the DAC. Benchmark, SD (in the TP) et al have proven that WC is NOT essential for that purpose. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38637 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
