Topic: UFX+ random digital clipping

Hi all, got a bit of an odd one with my UFX+ connecting via thunderbolt to a Mac Mini.

I have a couple of line inputs to the UFX+ which are then routed out via MADI to my sound console. I also have some ADAT inputs from another laptop. Very randomly (not very often to be fair) I get what a digital clip noise on the input channel that originate from the line inputs to the UFX+

I haven't noticed the same clip on the inputs that originate from the ADAT inputs.

I have tried a few scenarios to try and make it happen, but I'm not sure why it is doing this.

Has anyone else had this issue at all?

Many thanks
Christian

Re: UFX+ random digital clipping

I should have said as I am using Coaxial MADI i have tried clocking to this and also clocking to the ADAT input, both are showing solid clocks in the DSP Settings!

Re: UFX+ random digital clipping

UFX+ firmware version? Mac OS version and RME driver version?

Re: UFX+ random digital clipping

Hi Christian,
Please describe the routing exactly/precisely/specifically.
This will facilitate root cause analysis.
Some needed information is below.
Also please describe the rest of the setup as exactly as possible.
Thanks,
Linz
