I'm afraid you don't really understand what you are talking about which makes your argument null and void.
If the sound card had really, really fast sampling rate then you wouldn't have to worry about syncing the clocks. If the sampling rate was fast enough then ADM would see two play backs of the same source file as just about identical (unless the clock drift was substantial). But that isn't the case, the sampling rate in your sound card isn't that much faster (or is the same) as the bit rate of the digital audio you are measuring. You need to remember that the output of a DAC isn't _really_ analogue. The output is generated from digital so it will always have discrete steps in it (even if there is clever maths/electronics to smooth these steps out). If the steps if your two sample don't quite line up, due to clock drift then you will see differences that don't really exist in a meaningful way. That is what the clocks need to be synced for any meaningful measurements. -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?
