- The problem arises when an unstable pulse train is *RECEIVED* by
- a D/A-converter *FROM* a digital transport.
- (I.e. between *TWO* boxes.)
-
- The receiver has to Phase Lock on a square wave which might not
- be very "square".
-
- From this you will get time-shift on the samples on the *RECEIVING*
- end since (virtually) all D/A-converters lacks any significant
- amount of buffer memory *COMBINED* with re-clocking of the signal.
- (The only exception that I know of is the (horrendously expensive)
- Technics SH-X1000 D/A converter).
-
- Note that any amount of buffer memory is useless without
- re-clocking of the signal.
-
- I guess that re-clocking might be tricky since the receiver must
- let his clock "drift" to avoid long term buffer under/over-flow.
-
- A simple way is to use a good transport...
