[QUOTE="Greg Bass, post: 99625, member: 655"] Re: X32 Discussion OK, I've been misled by word clock adverts about word clock and audio quality. I've read about jitter issues when forcing internal clocks to sync with other clock sources. It's just sync. Does not affect audio. Got it. Myth busted. What about the DA part? Would, say, a Mytek 96DAC offer any benefit over the X32's DA for studio monitoring purposes? Or is it that it would sound "different" not necessarily better. DA adverts and reviews tout "greater precision and accuracy ". Do better components/design make it more precise and accurate? Can "better" be electronically quantified in a DA (effect on a waveform) or is it just subjective to the individual listener? Back to the X32...So, how would I sync and pass audio between an X32 Rack with every other piece of digital gear I own that has ADAT I/O or S/PDIF I/O. As far as I see, I can't. Can AES 50 be used? No idea. Nothing in Behringer lit. They (of course) only discuss connecting to their boxes. Google searched a bit and found nothing useful. Insights?
