A related issue arose in a thread I started here yesterday. I did a Google search on "External Word Clock" and, lo and behold! found myself back at this forum on this thread. I have dCS Elgar Plus DAC, Verdi la Scala Transport and Verona Word Clock. I am interested in downloading high resolution audio files and playing them through the Elgar. The Transporter seems to be about the only device capable of doing this over a wireless network (which would be convenient), and it is an attraction for me that it has an external clock connection, so I could use the Verona as master clock for both (even if Sean thinks this is perverse and wrong!!). John Atkinson 'reviewed the Verona' (http://www.stereophile.com/digitalprocessors/305dcs/) very positively in -Stereophile- in 2005 (you may think -Stereophile- reviews are rubbish, but they were very positive about the Squeezebox and the Transporter, and brought them to my attention and that of many other audiophiles (and John Atkinson is a lot more level-headed than Michael Fremer, though I do blame him for persuading me to buy a Benchmark DAC-1)). Now the Verona only outputs 44.1kHz and 48kHz (other dCS devices can multiply these up as required (probably adding to the wrongheadedness of the external master clock from Sean's point of view)): but what will the Transporter do with, say, a 96kHz file when it's being fed a 48kHz word clock signal?
To get to the point: if I buy a transporter, will I be able to use it to feed 88.2/24 and 96/24 digital signals to my Elgar while clocking it at 44.1 or 48 with my Verona? -- Ciaran ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ciaran's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18300 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39770 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
