Hi Peter, referring to the UMC1820. According to Thomann's webpage it's been available since May 2016, I think I bought mine in 2018, so I have it more like 4 years now, not 5, now that I think about it. I checked in alsamixer, you can switch the clock source between internal and "Opt In SPDI" (or something like that). Best, Niklas Peter P. wrote on 29.05.2022 18:31 (GMT +02:00): > Nik, > > thanks!
