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

Hi, I'm not completely clear on whether you have reached a common conclusion, but I thought I'd offer some comments. 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. I think

Okay. So the Transporter just does not like the combo Wordclock in and Asyncronous mode. I still haven't understood why. Shall reread your posts. Thanks again. -- Valentino Valentino's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.c

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? Thanks again. -- Valentino

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 Tra
