Home Digital Drive

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

So you say the data gets to other side safely?

No no that makes no sense at all. The clock synchronization
problem exists everywhere were digital cabling is involved.

As soon as an audio source sends the data with embedded clock
to some other gadget, you have the problem of identifying
the incoming clock, sampling the values at the right time,
understanding what the other side has sent you. It works
fine with MIDI, but that may be because it deals with harmless
amounts of data compared to digital audio.

By saying this should work flawlessly you admit that the whole
discussion on losing bytes because of clock skews isn't true.
You can't say A here in B in the other thread! Please!

Also by saying this should work flawlessly you admit that the
choice of digital transport is irrelevant as long as it is bit
correct and the DAC is doing a good conversion, because bits
are bits, even across coax or toslink cables.

So you really think bits will be bits when somebody does this
test? Well then we don't need to upgrade to HDMI after all.
