Master/slave link

[Mikeeo]

Well, posed the queries to DVLA last week but no response yet.

On the clock sync issue, while one assumes that DVLA have done their homework, it would be good to know what they have done. As some have said, I preferred their old, info-centric, website.

There are other manufacturers who are more upfront with what they have done to address the clock sync/time lag issue. For example, TotalDac employs a dedicated clock sync cable between their dual Mono DACs even while it connects the digital signal via AES/EBU. Avantgarde Acoustics, who link the master/salve units of their Zero 1 DSP active speakers wirelessly, indicate that they delay the master unit by up to 2 milliseconds to allow the slave unit to catch up with the master unit.

Mikeeo reports hearing differences in sound quality between the master and slave units in the 400 while IanG-UK is happy with his 800. Hmm...just go for the top of the line

Mike here, well I do believe and hope it is burn in procedure. Just stopped by my home yesterday to pack for a bizz tripp and had the chance to listen for 6 hours. From this I can say that seem to be very little differences or none so I am a happy cat again. Top of the line was my idea from the beginning but as I was a sceptic 'believer' I started with 170 which to my ears was as good as the 240 at double the price give and take some loud playing on tricky loudspeakers. My intention if liking the 170/200 was to leave that one for movie duties and then move to the 250 camp and dual mono but I am happy for that choice now when I moved into 400 which leaves the 250 behind in sound quality for the same money, more dough for music, new tonearm etc...
