![]() With reference clocks becoming a little more affordable these days, which DACs or Renderers have external inputs to make use of them? So now you want to delete that so you don't have to see it? Sorry Snowflake. You'll not get the results you are imagining because of a misunderstanding in how this works. ![]() I provided additional info directly pertinent to the question which didn't tell you what you wanted to hear. Should have gotten at least a D for that much. Some of that gear is unusually good for reasons having nothing to do with the clock. I provided you with info directly pertinent to the question you posed by telling in what area to find gear that would accept the clock. Persist with crapping on this thread and the posts will be deleted, your choice. It's not the point of this thread to determine if reference clocks and DACs are a waste of time, sheer folly, I would have asked that question, but I didn't. You can either contribute by providing an answer to the question or not answer at all if you don't know or don't care. They are Time Base Correctors all three you get an F (or a 5 so mansr can understand) for failing to answer the question at post 1. I've had hands on racks of Sony D1 that were upwards of $2 million, Grass Valley, Pinnacle, Horita, etc.Īnd please call them by what they are. External clocks are for live sound and video were equipment getting out of sync will cause a problem on the A/D or broadcast. Yep, you can only attempt to correct ignorance. Or until jitter's devilish effects and the delightful solution is found somewhere new. Hopefully someone will take a $150 DAC, spend $500 on cabling and de-evilizers, and then spend $2000 on a clock, and live happily ever after. A whole industry to combat this silent hidden enemy has grown up around a myth. It infects every cable, power supply, clock, DAC, reclocker you name it everyone imagines jitter is there. Jitter has been an incredible gift to boutique digital audio. ![]() Of course this will not change anyone's mind. You can have free running clocks on your DAC via asynch USB or ethernet. You aren't going to get lower jitter from synching to an external clock no matter the quality of that external clock vs free running crystal clocking internally. I know it is falling on literally deaf ears, but I'll say it anyway. Some gear terminates the input internally some doesn't. You need some care in how to connect and properly terminate the word clock cabling. They can clock off SPDIF, ADAT or Word clock input. Lots of pro recording ADC/DAC or mastering DACs have clock inputs. ![]()
