Hi, this is Liudas (Louis) from LessLoss. Thanks for posing your impressions, guys!
Rest assured, the clock frequencies match up. We worked this out by email. Remember this is a SYNCHRONOUS slaving. That means there is no rounding. Trying to run Synchronous slaving with two different clocks is impossible. It wouldn't sound just less than perfect, it will sound like nothing, or white noise, or like a chain saw grinding its way through your favorite record collection (especially the one that's playing...).
I still am amazed at how difficult this all seems for people to grasp. It is actually very simple: Transporter uses only WordClock input. So, we give it the WordClock signal, which is 48 kHz or 96 kHz or 44.1 kHz or whatever the audio is. This frequency is arrived at by dividing the SuperClock frequency by a finite integer value.
If you use rounding, then you have bad sound. Asynchronous solutions give you worse digital (electronic-like) sound since they have rounding.
The 6 digital setups tell the story at this link.
