I suspect the RME using other, better converters than the Behringer does. This is why I expect that a completely perfect sync for the phases might be impossible. Thomann (the dealer) claimed I'm mistaken ;), sync is possible. Anyway, I'll read about ADAT and sync. ADAT is new for me, since in the earlier days it was used by semi-professional studios only, I never was in a professional studio or home recording studio using ADAT. I guess today it's more common than it was 'some' years ago. I thought ADAT is similar to S/PDIF and usually S/PDIF is used to sync identical elCheapo cards when using them as one virtual card, something I never tried to do with my Terratec cards, instead I bought the RME. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
