Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Old, Old Dac - Not S/Pdif

I would need to knnw far more than I do about the inner workings of S/Pdif to answer your question. However it is possible, for example, that a close but inaccurate synchronisation of components will not be acceptably stable over a period of time leading to an eventual loss of lock between them.

I can reproduce this situation by using different and out of synch clock signals for the DAC and for the source. The selected frequency for both is correct but not the timing in relation to each other. All will seem fine for a period but eventually and inevitably a glitch will occur. In your case this may manifest itself as a loss of lock.

Just surmising.
