This makes no sense to me. AFAIK there is pretty much zero point in 12s with the dac as slave. if you already have a dac which works the right way (ie with the dac as master) why seek out a dac which does it the wrong way so that you can buy another item to alleviate the problem caused by the dac working the wrong way? It seems like you want to get someone to put a hole in your roof so you can try out an umbrella. This would only make sense if the dac with a master clock has a really useless clock. IN that case I think you'd be better off buying a dac with a decent internal clock.
If I have misunderstood this then I would be delighted to have it explained to me why one might prefer a dac in slave mode. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamdea's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37603 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106193 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
