Adat connections without wordclock. Kosher?

Postby Hud » Fri Jun 24, 2011 8:40 pm

Hey all

I'm considering a new converter setup and I'm wondering how important wordclock syncing is in practice. I believe adat over lightpipe has some kind of sync built in, so is this enough? Is it a different story at higher sample rates? Keen to hear your experiences

I really don't find the ad/da conversion side of audio interesting at all anymore. I just wanna get it stable and forget it!

In my limited experience time sync over lightpipe works fine with only two units. It starts to get flaky when you add a third.

+1 on that. When I added a third unit, I had nothing but problems. Added an external clock, everything has been great since.

THanks for replies, gives me something to work with :D

Alistair yes you did buy the clock off me! Glad to hear it's going well. I got the clock in a package deal, but didn't actually need it at the time. I'm reshuffling my setup now, so trying to figure out what to get/ avoid.
