Use Multiple Master Clock Outputs?


I have the Denafrips Aether clock to use with their Gaia DDC. The two fixed clock outputs and two DDC inputs match for frequency (one in/out=45.xxMhz, the other in/out 49.xxMhz.

Do I use just one cable between the units at one of those frequencies, or do I use both cables for both frequencies. My gut says just one but not sure. Thanks!

@erik_squires Yes, I was also just thinking this is the case, for the two different  base frequencies. Thanks.

So it seems then both cables would be needed.

I believe the reason for the multiple clocks is that they divide more easily to different base clocks.

44.1 kHz is Redbook/CD standard while higher resolution starts at 48 kHz. 

49.152 MHz is 1024 x 48 kHz.

45.1584 MHz is 1024 x 44.1 kHz.

So the high speed connection would be used at 48, 96, etc. while the lower clock rate is for 44.1, 88,2, etc.
