RE: Auraliti & Berkeley Audio Alpha-1 DAC

Posted by demianm on October 13, 2009 at 13:46:16:
And some systems merrily play the content at the wrong speed when driven from an external clock. Different DAC's handle the sample rate changes differently. Most of the pro market devices I have been near do it gracefully. Some consumer stuff generates ticks and pops until it realizes that the sample rate changed.

One intrepid high end dealer I know fried several sets of really expensive tweeters trying the external clock stuff.

I really don't want to prescribe or dictate the best way to do any of this. However I also only want to support stuff I know will work on the platform. As we figure out how to support alternative ways to use the Auraliti platform we will be happy to share as much as possible. We recognize that this is a rapidly evolving environment.
