Yes, although I doubt you'll find any standalone DAC today that sounds much better. It could be considered a "future proofing" feature though. Another conceivable use for the word clock might be if you were doing editing and needed transporter's s/pdif output to be precisely in sync with some other reference. This "house sync" is often used with video because you need to sync frame rates - I don't know if it's done in audio editing. Finally I could imagine the possibility that one might need to vary the sample rate on the fly, or use some non-standard rate. For example, I made some interesting effects once by hooking a sweep function generator to the word clock input while playing music. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27927 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
