Another reason for wanting the master clock is to send the signal to an external processor/computer for digital filtering (e.g. xover or DRC). I've had this same question. There's a huge long thread about this over at DIY forum: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63078
The SqueezeBox comes up a couple of times. Basically, the idea is to do all crossover or room correction in the digital domain, and then do the necessary D/A on each component of the signal, and finally, bi- or tri-amp passive 2- or 3-way speakers, respectively. Yes, it probably seems like overkill, but on the other hand, if you're an audiophile and geek like me, it's cool to have as much control as possible over every part of the system. -- ezkcdude ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ezkcdude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2545 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20284 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
