Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Audio Always On - Transporter option
Audio Always On is also a nice feature if 1) Your Transporter is your preamplifier and you like to switch it off for display reasons and you don't like that bump. 2) Your transporter DAC drives your tweeters directly. -- Valentino Valentino's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74930 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter: Wordclock in and Processor Loop
I do not _know_ that the Transporter word clock in outputs something. seanadams says it does not (That also means it cannot I presume). I might have been fooled into some audiophile truth that wordclock in is better than no word clock in, also for a DAC. The Meitner and dCS DACs have wordclock in, right? And they are expensive and good, right? But they are not data sources and DACs at the same time. Status: I now have the RME controlling the Behringer's output timing by Wordclock and the Transporter DAC input by the clock signal embedded in the spdif signal. And it works. Case closed. -- Valentino Valentino's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74426 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

bhaagensen;510237 Wrote: Hi, Valentino: How do you know that 'Wordclock IN' actually outputs something, rather than e.g. simply doing nothing? Maybe you wrote it, but I couldn't find an exact reason. That was my initial reaction since the Behringer's happy lights went all unhappy and the whole system stopped playing when i tried activating Wordclock In while in asynchronous mode. Let me add that the reason for using the Behringer is because of web radio which seems to favour 48kHz. I must have web radio. My hirez-files are not that many, and I've made 44.1kHz SRC-copies of them already. On the fly sample rate conversion in Squeezeboxserver would be nice of course, but AFAIK the server only allows for conversion to 1/2 or 1/4 Fs depending on Squeezebox model. -- Valentino Valentino's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74426 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter: Wordclock in and Processor Loop
This puzzles me: I'm using the Transporter's processor loop. In the loop I have a Behringer SRC2496 sample rate converter and a RME Fireface UC external USB sound card. The Behringer converts incoming data to 44.1kHz. RME is master clock source, and Behringer is happy with that. However, the Transporter jams the Wordclock signal when I select Clock Source: Wordclock In. Alas. Working settings are: Digital Output Encoding: S/PDIF Clock Source: Optical S/PDIF (TOSLINK) Effects loop input: Optical S/PDIF (TOSLINK) Effects loop clock mode: Asynchronous (External processor is master Word Clock On S/PDIF Outputs: Word clock output is disabled (source is master) Changing to Clock Source: Word Clock Input makes the music stop and all the error lights on the Behringer and RME dance. What is happening here? Have I discovered a bug? -- Valentino Valentino's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74426 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

I don't think word clock has been tested in this context, but it's not clear to me that what you're doing is a valid application for it either. Thanks for replying, seanadams. The basis is that I would like to syncronize the receiving end of the effect loop to word clock in instead of the clock embedded in the spdif signal as I do believe that it will reduce jitter in the system. The loop is as follows: Transporter - Behringer SRC2496 (converts all to 44.1) - RME Fireface UC + PC with crossover running at 44.1 - Transporter (- Tweeter amp.) To clarify: My little digital round trip works fine if the Transporter uses SPDIF input as clock source, but Wordclock in seems to OUTPUT something when I select it as clock source. -- Valentino Valentino's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74426 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter: Wordclock in and Processor Loop
Okay. I may be getting it if you can help me with a couple more questions: Even if the BNC is labeled Wordclock In it is actually Wordclock Out? If so: Is the wordclock signal generated from the spdif input Transporter receives from my RME?

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Transporter: Wordclock in and Processor Loop
Trying to rephrase: Judging by the behaviour of seems to me that Wordclock In OUTPUTS something when I try to use it in my application with the RME as master. Quite unexpected.
