Hi,
I would like to ask:
My pulsar card is wordclocked from Mytek so the spdif input of the card ,probably,
is driven from this clock.
FIRST QUESTION: I have a prototype AD converter (very nice) that has spdif
output. Now connecting this output to the Pulsar spdif input would the ACTUAL
ad converter sound be CLOCKED ?
Up till now I was using Behringer ultramath converter which was accepting
the ad's spdif out and reclocked with mytek's wordclock using the bnc (wordclock)
input on behringer.
Do you think like I do that now this AD's spdif output will be clocked by
simply connected to Pulsar spdif input (which Pulsar is clocked as a whole
from Mytek) ?

Second question is , if I buy an external DA converter like Benchmark DAC1
(anyone using it ?) and connect it to Paris spdif out (Paris is wordclocked
already from Mytek) will my DA sound be CLOCKED with the rest of my devices
getting clock from Mytek ?

I know that these questions might sound obvious to be answered but I wanna
be sure !!!!!
Thanks
Dimitrios

Dimitrios,

If the spdif out of the A/D converter is fed to the Pulsar spdif input, then
the Pulsar would be receiving clock signal from the AD. To my knowledge, a
device can't be clocked from it's own digital output, only from a signal
arriving at it's digital input if it is set to slave so the AD would not be
clocked from the Mytek.unless it has a BNC clock input that can be fed a WC
signal.

As for the DAC-1, I use this and it will basically lock to the incoming
clock signal from Paris/Mytek and then upsample this signal before
converting it back to analog. The newer units upsample to 192k. Mine
upsamples to 96k.

That's pretty cool that you got VSTi to work with Paris.

;o)

Thanks DJ,
But the Pulsar spdif ,well all Pulsar is getting clock from Mytek so onn
Pulsar main page the signal is synced to wordclock bnc coming from Mytek,
isn;t that making the incoming signal from ad converter getting clock by
just getting in ?
Thanks
Dimitrios

To my knowledge you can only have one clock source (be that internal,
S/PDIF, wordclock or otherwise). In Paris this source would be selected on
the main project window through clock source drop down menu. Not sure where
pulsar has this yet, I'm working all internal at this point.
