PRat: a DAC or transport thing?


Hi folks, I would like to know if PRaT is more related to DAC or transport? Could I improve PRaT by using a contemporary top flight transport (instead of the 10 year old Accuphase DP-90)? Thank you. Btw, I'm using the matching Accuphase DC-91 DAC.

Hello, in theory Mrtennis is right,
however in practice, your 10 yrs old Accuphase transport might
need re-calibration. The main crystal is aging, because of that it could change transport's main clock frequency.
If this change is more than +/-200ppm the rhytm and tempo of music will change. After all sampling frequency (44.1Khz) derived from main clock.
