Zardoz - to be clear the ADI-2 doesn't have a word-clock output (or input). It always uses the clock in the spdif or ADAT/Toslink signal or it replaces them with its internal clock.
To really get a big improvement on the SB internal DAC, you'd need one with word-clock output (so the DAC can drive the SB) - and the SB would need to have a word-clock input added (modders can do this). These tend to be expensive DAC's! Also, opinions are divided on just how much better this arrangement would be over a closely coupled DAC as in the Transporter. -- 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+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT RCS 2.2X with Good Vibrations S/W - MF X-DAC V3/X-PSU/X-10 buffer (Audiocomm full mods)- Linn 5103 - Linn Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48679 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
