Can I take CLOCK TTL signal from Buffalo32s ? And another question, can Buff32 work on Master clock mode?

The master clock works at 80mhz. I am not sure what you would do with that. :)
But the short answer is no to the first question, and I am not am not sure what you mean by the second. It requires a master clock and it has one. :)
Cheers! Russ

No, the Sabre DAC does not work like ordinary synchronous DACs. The only reference clock is 80mhz and I doubt your soundcard would do anything useful with that. All other signals are generated external to the DAC, they are inputs not outputs.

Thank you Russ for quick response. Can I use another frequency quartz for Sabre clock for example 96MHz or 88,2MHz or something? Edited by user Monday, August 31, 2009 9:18:10 AM(UTC)

80mhz very close to the maximum. You need >= 74.112mhz to lock 192khz with SPDIF. Any clock from 40-100mhz should be OK, but we chose a clock that works very well for all practical audio formats from 44.1/16 to 192/32. Also you need to keep in mind, the DAC is ASYNCHRONOUS that means it is not useful to make the clock a ratio of some other clock or synched with some other clock. Cheers!

In other words: you should not care to much about what the quality of the source clock is as long as the Buf32 has a decent one ;)
