Re: Are the sonic benefits of clock-syncing signficant?

62.6.75.130

All gear "sync's" to digital clock. If its in the digital domain it has to. There is always something that is being seen as the master. Weiss gear is well considered, but there are plenty of other great pieces of mastering kit out there. Your question is really asked the wrong way round. If you don't have clock syncing you have major problems, that are definitely audible. In my studio, I have a Sadie mastering system, that I leave set to automatic. That way if it recieves master clocking it slaves, if not it acts as master. If you get clock problems it doesn't take much to hear it, usually starts with odd clicks then moves on to distortion. In the case of a CD player with a external DA convertor, I would expect your DA convertor to be the clock source, although it will probably be buffering the data anyway.
