Re: Firewire: jitter-resistant or clock-quality-dependant?

Hi

thanks for your answer! The DAC I am using (RME FireFace 800) is a recording studio quality DAC which accepts adat, spdif, AES, and FireWire via ASIO. Its internal clock is of very high quality and it has very elobarte jitter correction. In the recording studio, you can use it as a master-clock for all other gear.
So no need to upgrade from the DACs side. My question only originated in the thought, that storing audio on my cimputer, the computer might introduce any kind of "jitter" into the signal, and feed it via FireWire to the DAC - the DACs jitter-correction mecanism might have to work extremely hard, which I might be able to change, if I use the DAC as some kind of "state of the art" master clock....
