I don't see how that would have any advantage over S/PDIF, in fact I expect it would be worse. To do that you need to generate an MCLK signal by multiplying the word clock by a factor 256. You have nearly all the same jitter components as s/pdif, but possibly even worse because you have to multiply up by such a large factor to a PLL-generated MCLK, and it is the MCLK that affects jitter, NOT LRCK. LRCK is effectively a data signal as far as any modern delta-sigma DAC is concerned. I just can't think of any practical use for feeding a word clock cable INTO a DAC. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32761 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
