When you feed an external wordclock into a Transporter it has to use a PLL to generate the high frequency "master clock" used inside the TP. This PLL is going to have much greater jitter than the crystal oscillators already in the TP. The ONLY reason to use a wordclock with a TP is if you alread

Is not the idea to slave the transporter to the DAC clock ? So there are DAC's with clock output, not many but. They do exist, or you can have the DAC modded to have it. This would then reduce jitter as the data is feed to the DAC by a rate dictated by it's own clock, piont is not absolute o'cloc

Good question and one I've been curious about (simply because the plug is there :-). I can imagine with a complex studio setup, wordclock sync could be very important... But for a straightforward playback chain, I'd love to read any articles advocating this. Here's an interesting article from a

I might be getting someone to build me a battery powered external word clock for my Transporter and have been asked at what frequency? Also is the one above freq able to handle all the different files I'll inevitably be feeding? --
