Comparison between toslink and firewire interface

[Audio_ELF]

Off the top of my head, I know that both the Weiss AFI1 and RME FireFace 400 and 800 have word clock inputs. The Lynx card, as commented, also has a Word Clock input.

 

The issue can be when using Dual Wire interface (with AFI1 and Lynx) as some expect the Word Clock rate to be that of the single wire speed and some the combined speed (so I've been informed).

I'm using the the AFI1 word sync out into the D-05 and it works flawlessly. There is no manual change of sample rates using Amarra software.

What would be the idea of doing it the other way around by using the word sync input of the firewire interface?

Danish,

The idea I think is 'give it a try' (slave the Weiss to the D-05) and find out if it sounds better. It MIGHT sound better, since the native clock of your D-05 running the DAC might provide better sound (likely because of jitter performance) then an external clock (no matter how good the clock in the Weiss). If you can't hear an improvement, change back to the old setting, since Amarra CAN set the clock on your Weiss, but not on your D-05... the Amarra/Weiss combo is likely to be more convenient...
