Word clock input

[Fragoulisnaval]

Personally I think this would be a step backwards unless you're interested in tinkering and/or enjoy spending money on more boxes and cables.

I'm interested to know what makes you think this would bring substantial improvements to SQ.  What specifically do you think is wrong with the current clocking set-up?

As far as I can see the only input that might conceivably benefit from this is AES where the sample-rate clock is recovered from the input stream.  But even then I suppose it depends on the details of how the resulting samples are re-sampled by the Devialet's internal clock, which we don't have much (any?) information about.

PS: I think you meant "word clock" rather than "world clock".

With more and more people digging into external clocks, wouldn`t it be great if the next improvement from Devialet included a dedicated input for accepting external clock signals?

This could bring a substantial improvement to SQ.

Exactly how?

From what i have read so far, the CI upgrade bringing along a better clock, has brought an increase in SQ of the new units. All inputs have benefited from this more or less.

We all know that Devialet dac internally is re-sampling the input signal (the signal being digital or analog), in dual-mono configuration it is more evident.

So, what better if Devialet could receive the same word clack as with the rest of the chain?

The mechanism/logic behind it is that it will work the same way as it already does to sotm, mutec and the rest. Reducing jitter.
