Somone correct me if I am wrong, but that would only be the case if there is absolutely no jitter in the clock mismatch, and also only if we are talking about a configuration with a buffer design that is not very smart, where the mismatch *has* to lead to sample discards. It's relatively simple to design things as if to avoid discards every time there's a mismatch in an free running asynchronous configuration (and in audio systems we are talking plesiochronous rather than asynchronous). -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33146 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
