Using a tcxo for a soundcard is the technical equivalent of using twelve handpolished and individually goldplated railroad tracks for loudspeaker cable: It would look impressive but be pointless. The A/D converters used and the heavyhanded analog anti-alias filtering means, that any sort term frequency change in the order of 1PMM/minute is not measurable or hearable by any current means: the phase difference only shows up as one nanosecond after 44 seconds of audio. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
