Topic: FF800 + Externel Clock = Zero Effect?
Yesterday i got a Mutec Word Clock generator for testing. I recorded a few things to listen to the differences between Internal Clock of FF800, the Digimax and the Mutec.
Signal Path was the following:
For Mutec Clock:
FF800 + Presonus Digimax FS via ADAT both synced by the Mutec clock (Star Topology)
For FF800 Clock:
FF800 + Presonus Digimax FS via ADAT synced by the FF as Master via WC out to Digimax WC in
For Digimax Clock:
FF800 + Presonus Digimax FS via ADAT set to Internal Clock. FF set to AutoSync synced via WC out from the Digimax ti the FF WC in.
After a few recordings i noticed, that the only difference i could hear was with Mutec on the Digimax Converters. The RME Converters sounded the same with Internal Clock or the Mutec. Nice i thought, so i don#t nedd no Mutec.
But wanted to go technical. So i recorded a sawtooth to the FF and the Digimax in all three sync constellations.
See attached picture. What i was wandering about is, that the mutec on the Digimax looks like it's more close to the original.
Is this because of SteadyClock? So that the incoming clock from the Mutec is "corrected" by SteadyClock and than not as good, as it was before?
