[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 34978, member: 46"] Re: Digital Boards - Sound Quality JR, in the studio world manufacturers are making a big deal out of this now. Even my low-midrange Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 is marketed as having a vastly improved clock, let alone companies like Black Lion doing customizations to Avid gear to make improvements on that front. The Black Lion 192 interface is probably one of the best respected interfaces in the recording world at the moment, and it is based on the premise of modding Avid hardware primarily with respect to delta sigma converter and master clock design. From their site: "We start with an advanced master clock that has around 2 picoseconds of jitter and -130dBc/Hz of phase noise @ 10Hz. " Of course that box does more than just clock improvements, however the Big Ben discussed previously does yield notable differences as well. Of course, regardless of how many people say it makes a difference (though not an enormous one compared to differences in bad vs good speakers) shouldn't matter to you. I am not into the whole "hifi audiofool" mentality, and tend to approach such things with skepticism. This is one of those cases where you simply need to hear it for yourself. You WILL notice a difference, but I'll never be able to convince you based on some random forum post. [/QUOTE]
