Greetings All -
Does anyone know (or have an opinion on) the quality/stability of a digital audio data stream into a Pulsar II card in these 3 configurations:
ADAT optical. plastic or glass
Z-LINK
S/PDIF
any of the the above with the CW Sync-plate Word Clock Module, sync'd to (for ex) the A16 Ultra or similar device
What I wish to understand first is if there are any differences between ADAT and Z-LINK with regard to jitter
anyone have any experiences to share?
thanks in advance
Ed
ADAT vs Z-LINK etc
Adat has the worst jitter of any digital format in my experience. Always use wordclock when adat is involved. Z-Link is MUCH better.
I haven't gotten around to measuring the difference on Z-Link with and without wordclock, but the difference is so small that I can't hear it. (I have an A16ultra hooked up to Scope via 2 Z-Links.)
