world clock

[ogs]

Hello

Please suggest whether it makes any sense to use an external world clock with  devialet and a streamer.
Do you have experience and can suggest how to plug everything together?

Thank you !

Unfortunately there is no word clock in/out on a Devialet amp. Nor is there any plans to implement such a feature according to an email exchange I had with Devialet on the subject. AIR (if it only worked..) is supposed to use the internal clock for playback, but I have not seen or read a proper technical description of this. The USB input, being asynchronous, also uses the internal clock (or is linked to it) and controls the playback stream. Maybe that is why many of us like USB so much!
So - if your streamer is SPDIF on either RCA or AES/EBU the clock is embedded in the data stream and the amp will have to extract it. If there is a USB output on your streamer this may give better result, depending on it's quality.
