Can someone explain the clock sync?
I recently got a new Denafrips Terminator 15th. I already have the Denafrips Hermes so I can sync the clocks with 2 BNC coaxial cables. I have done that but I really am not positive what this does. I did it right away when I placed the DAC into the rig because this DAC is a beast to move and make connections so I just did the connections and let it cook. All my digital sources are fed into the Hermes and I use an I2s connection to the DAC as well as the clock cables. I scoured the internet with google to find out exactly what this does to no avail. Maybe someone here can explain it? All I can gather is the two clocks "talk to each other" but does this allow the better clocks in the DAC to take president? I’m old and this digital stuff is complicated to me in some cases. Thanks!
This information from the Denafrips site should help In short, your DDC reclocks the signal from your streamer before sending it down to the DAC. There’s also DSP that takes place. The objective is to lower jitter to levels where it is no longet a factor for the DAC. The i2s into the DAC is then extremely clean. This supposed to result in better sound. |
