that's right. It's still a little hokey but much better than playing at the wrong rate. > I wonder why the status bits were not used from day one? The status data can be used for a variety of things but I'm not sure specifically what the clock rate bits were intended for. Probably just for display purposes, since I don't think word-clocking was conceived until much later. Some s/pdif receiver chips will let you query both the channel status bits and the recovered clock rate as compared against a reference - they should always match. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62747 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
