Hi
I want to sync a tscam dm 4800 with the hdsp aes-32.Which one should i set to master?is the word clock of the tascam good?Needless to say that the analogue to digital conversion is taking place in the tascam
Thanks
 
The master clock is always the SOURCE in the digital world. The MASTER gets to put it into the slave.
 
When possible use the internal clock on anything doing AD or DA conversion. Make the Tascam the master and the card the slave.
 
thanks bouldersoundguy i will do that.i was thinking of seting the hdsp as a master because as rme says it has "SteadyClock for highest jitter suppression and clock regeneration" and was wandering if it has better word clock than the tascam.But i'll try the tasca.
thanks for answering
 
Even if the HDSP has a "better" clock it has to go through the Tascam's clock buffer which will be the weak link in the chain.
 
"Don't know which should be the master?"

The one with the whip...
