I know exactly what the TASCAM is thank you. I've owned and used more studio/recording gear in the last 25 years than you can possibly imagine :-) Did you even read my post properly? S/PDIF cannot "overload" by its very nature. 0dB is 0dB. Analogue can - and will. Are getting a green/yellow light on the 144 when playing back the WAV/FLAC file? I you are, then the input levels on the 144 should be set properly and there should not be any distortion. If you are still getting distortion you need to trim down the 144 even further. By the way, if you use a 24/96 file generated by RMAA it suffers from the usual "there is no standard for hi-rez wav" problem. To get it to play properly on the TP you need to convert it to FLAC. There is no problem with 16/44.1 wavs generated by RMAA. The PRO version of RMAA will make no difference here. Neither will using ASIO drivers. Also this has nothing to do with "clocks"! -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
