Ralf mentioned that syncing with a ADA8000 via the ADAT produces an audible difference. Is Word clock syncing more reliable? I know matching a MF-I and the ADA8000 will likely result in different output characteristics and be limited to 48kHz audio - but these units are readily available here and quite cheap. It's tempting. Do you have an opinion? And Ralf, no, unfortunately I can't test RME equipment in this or any nearby city. cheers, Iain _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
